How does Rob's School of Music keep students engaged and loving their lessons every week?
Awesome Events and Recitals
Our events are EPIC! All students are invited to perform in many local pop-up performances. We also do annual recitals unlike any music school around. We make these events fun and entertaining for the students and the entire family with professional lighting and sound, concessions, and recordings. Our Rock Band students perform at REAL venues every 6-8 weeks.
Customized Learning System
Nothing about Rob’s School of Music is cookie-cutter. Every student receives a completely customized curriculum, so they are taught how THEY learn. Once enrolled, every student receives a questionnaire so we can learn about their musical goals and “why” they want to learn how to play music.
It’s More Than Music
As a music school, our first goal is to teach our students how to play music, but at Robs School Of Music, it goes much deeper than that. In a perfect world, 20 years from now, all of our students would still be rocking, but even if they’re not, they will still possess the self-discipline and confidence instilled in every lesson.
Learn from True Musical Practitioners
A good teacher changes everything. Every music coach at Robs School Of Music is an active touring and recording professional musician. But it doesn’t stop there. We are a team of educators who put all of our student's needs front and center in every lesson. Our team is trained to adapt their teaching style on the fly to ensure we connect with our students every minute they’re with us.

Dave Simon, owner of Dave Simon’s Rock School in St. Louis, developed Kidzrock in 2010. He originally founded Rock School in 2003. The school catered to pre-teen and teenagers. Dave wanted to broaden his school’s appeal by offering programming for a younger age group. Private lessons proved to be a challenge for children younger than 7 due to the mechanical challenges for smaller hands. Dave observed from his own young children that they had basic sense of rhythm and melody. He devoted a year to experimenting with instruments and song structures that would utilize young children’s musical strengths making playing in a rock band a reality. Word about the program spread quickly and it became an immediate success in St. Louis. Kidz rock is now offered in arts centers, music schools, elementary schools and summer camps around the country. Kidzrock is the only program in the US that makes the rock band experience accessible to children as young as 4. Kidzrock is licensed to over 14 music schools in Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan, Alabama, Louisiana, Massachusetts, California and Colorado. This new approach to music education is proof that you are never too young to rock ‘n’ roll.
