Rockgod Music School - Guitar Bass Drum Vocals Piano Lessons Gosford Central Coast

ABOUT US

We were the first ROCK SCHOOL to open on the Central Coast in 2008!
Our goal was, and still is, to get young people learning to play their instrument, join a band and get up ON STAGE.
We teach Guitar Bass Drums Vocals Piano and put our students into real bands.

Unlike most music schools our students GIG AT THE END OF EVERY TERM! We believe this is THE most important thing we do.
There's no point in being the worlds best "bedroom musician". Our ROCKBAND students get up on stage using a REAL PA SYSTEM & PERFORM TO REAL CROWDS, every term.
Our gigs are always great fun and are THE BEST MOTIVATION to keep students playing & practicing for the next BIG GIG!
We specialise in music lessons for beginners (from age 5 - 7) & love seeing our little rockers blossom into great musicians.

At ROCKGOD we have developed our very own method of tuition, we call it THE CURRICULUM OF ROCK!
Developed over a 4 year period our method arranges CLASSIC & CURRENT ROCK, POP, PUNK, METAL & BLUES SONGS in an order that teaches you what you need to know and when you need to know it.
We use songs by Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Pink Floyd and current tracks by Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Jet, Paramore, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and many, many more.
No "What song do you want to learn this week?" approach, instead a WELL THOUGHT OUT tried & tested method that teaches you TECHNIQUE & MUSIC THEORY using the songs YOU want to play.
