Rock Nation School

If you want your kids to play real rock music from lesson one, Rock Nation is the place.
After my son’s first guitar lesson, he was playing the obligatory Deep Purple «Smoke on the Water» lick. Within three months, my son (then 7 years old) and daughter (9 at the time and the drummer) had formed a band and performed with the RN studios at a real rock venue. They have since played several Rock Nation concerts.
Several months ago, my son went into Guitar Center and started playing Eddie’s «Eruption» then some «Crazy Train.» All the old rocker guitar guys stopped in their tracks, «Who is this kid?!!»
Kids will get bored of playing an instrument, unless they are able to eventually perform on stage. Rock Nation gives them this great opportunity. The instructors are seasoned veterans with their own bands, are studio musicians, or both.
If you’ve never seen a Rock Nation performance around town, you will be astonished by the talent that these kids have, especially the bands from the flagship studio in Agoura Hills.

My daughter was one of the first students to sign up through Kat Brooks at this location. Kat was friendly, helpful and answered all of our questions. After finding out from our 9 year old what she was interested in pursuing, Kat lined us up for the trial vocal session.
My daughter wanted a female teacher at first but after meeting and working with Muddy, she changed her preferred day in order to coincide with his schedule. He has taught her confidence and pitch. He has also shown her how to sing in her own voice instead of mimicking the nasal teen sound so prevalent today. Muddy makes the lessons fun and interesting.
She is very excited that they have started working on a band song and looks forward to being in one of the Rock Nation stage shows. In a few months we may add guitar or drum lessons to go along with the vocals.
I highly recommend for any kid that is interested in music, especially now that music programs have been so drastically cut from the states budget. Besides my daughter has learned so much more from this class then she has in choir.
