The Rocker Doc

Welcome to the Rocker Doc Music Education, where

we put the science behind the music.

No two students are alike. Different personalities, learning styles, and personalities are just some variables that determine an individual's uniqueness. What works for one student will likely not work for another student. That is if you're serious about learning to play.

There are a multitude of lessons out there, online or in-person, with just as many instructors. There are also so-called methods, many of them promising you playing ability in a matter of days. What are these claims based on exactly? How were these conclusions made, and using what scientific method?

Then there are the big-box music stores, such as Guitar Center. While some stores may have quality lessons and instructors, others do not. Regarding the latter, instructors may be marginally qualified at best. Based on my research and verifiable evidence, some of those instructors' qualifications are being friends with the lesson lead. And the lessons themselves have little, if any, structure.

For example, one such store had a showcase recital with a mere handful of students participating. One student learned their song the day before, and two of them have been playing the same song for the past three recitals and only seconds of those songs. Is this what their parents are paying for?

So why Rocker Doc Music Education?

We customize our lessons for each student based on their personalities and learning styles; no two lessons are alike. We do not have generic or blanket lessons. Each student gets a customized lesson.

If you get stuck, I'll determine why and then the best way to fix the problem. We don't bully you into giving us your credit card number. You pay as you go or buy lessons in a pack. And, unlike at Guitar Center, when you buy a lesson, you keep that lesson until you use it. We don't force you into a recurring monthly subscription. Need a break? No problem.

We know what we're doing. We know the songs. We know how to play and teach those songs. In turn, we'll teach you the songs; you'll also know those songs. And you'll know more than 15 or 20 seconds of the same song in over a year. You will have an impressive repertoire. We, too, have recitals, and you'll be playing with fellow students and students from programs who have agreed to work with us. Your stage will not be some rag-tag setup—it will be set up like a real stage because you have real musicians setting it up.

If you want to waste your money on another program, that's fine. We're not the only game in town, and we thank you for visiting our website.

But if you want to learn to play the guitar from a unique music school, please read on. We would love to have you sign on with us and allow us to properly guide you through your musical journey regardless of where you want it to take you. You won't be sorry.
