Unleash Your Child’s Inner Rockstar with Jr. Rockerz!
Have you ever noticed how most after-school activities start kids in a group or a team? Dance, softball, karate, and gymnastics are a few that come to mind.
When it comes to music lessons, educators often delay the thrill of playing music in a group or band until a child has a basic command of their instrument, which can take months to years.

Not anymore! Introducing Jr. Rockerz!

Jr. Rockerz is a program used by music schools worldwide that teaches 7- to 11-year-olds how to play an instrument in a real performing rock band! The program uses game mechanics to motivate children to practice and ‘level up’ to play more challenging and exciting music.
Not only will your child learn how to play an instrument, but they will also learn to write and sing songs with their bandmates as they prepare to perform in their big concert.  Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity for your child to experience the magic of performing  music in a real band.
