Music Summer Camp in Suffern, NY

Mini Camps
I cannot say enough great things about Rob Spampinato's Jam Camp. The small group environment was a nurturing one for these young musicians from middle school to high school, who put together an amazing performance of 3 songs after a short 2 week session! I saw my son's rock talents blossom in front of my eyes. They learned to trust themselves, each other, and create a group persona composed of their own budding talents. Rob was instrumental in inspiring them, guiding them, and leading them with the musicality as well as the mutual support needed to thrive both individually and as a group. Self expression is one of the greatest gifts we have through music, and Rob's School of Music made this dream a reality this Summer! We look forward the next one!!!!Judy L - Suffern NY / Parent

RSM 2026 Jam Camps! Two Amazing Programs!!

Songwriting Camp

Got a story you’ve been dying to tell?
A melody you can’t get out of your head?

That’s exactly what our Songwriting Camp is built for.

This isn’t just talking about songwriting. Our students collaborate, write, arrange, and record a real, original song from scratch, working side by side with our instructors the entire way. We break down how great songs are actually written, why certain hooks stick, and how to turn raw ideas into something people genuinely want to listen to.

And here’s the best part…
The finished song gets released on Spotify.
Not a demo. Not a classroom project. A real release they can share forever.

It’s creative, confidence-building, and hands-on in the best way. If your kid loves music and wants to create, this is where it clicks.

What You’ll Learn at Songwriting Camp:

  • 🎼 Song Structure & Lyric Writing – Learn how to craft engaging verses, choruses, and bridges that connect with your audience.
  • 🎸 Melody & Chord Progressions – Discover how to create hooks and harmonies that make your song stand out.
  • 🎤 Recording & Producing Your Own Song – Experience the recording process firsthand and leave with a professionally recorded version of your original song!
  • 🎧 Arrangement & Instrumentation – Learn how to enhance your music with different instruments and production techniques.
  • 🚀 Performance & Presentation – Gain confidence in sharing your work and delivering a compelling performance.

Our program is open to beginners and intermediate musicians, so whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, this camp is for you. But hurry, space is limited.

THE RSM EXPERIENCE

MUSIC LESSONS ARE JUST THE BEGINNING.

Learning an instrument shouldn't only happen inside a lesson room. At Rob's School of Music, students have opportunities to take what they're learning and actually do something with it.

LEARN
PLAY
PERFORM
CREATE
RECORD
RELEASE

Learn your instrument. Play the music you love. Join a real band. Perform on real stages. Write original music. Record in professional studios. Release your music into the world.

The goal isn't simply to complete another lesson. The goal is to become a musician.

WHY RSM IS DIFFERENT

BUILT BY A WORKING MUSICIAN.

Rob's School of Music was founded by professional musician, educator and content creator Rob Spampinato. For more than 25 years, Rob has built his life around music.

He has toured and performed across the country, recorded professionally, worked with major music brands, been a PRS Guitars endorsed artist since 2007, authored an Amazon #1 bestselling guitar book and built an online community of more than 180,000 YouTube subscribers.

Through the Rob's School of Music platform and podcast, Rob has also interviewed some of the world's most respected musicians about the craft, career and life of making music.

Those accomplishments aren't separate from RSM.
THEY'RE WHY IT EXISTS.

Rob built RSM to give students something traditional music education too often misses: the experience of actually becoming a musician. Everything we do, from private lessons to bands, songwriting, recording and live performances, comes from that philosophy.

MEET ROB
MORE THAN AN AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITY

YOUR CHILD DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER ACTIVITY.

THEY NEED SOMETHING THEY CAN CALL THEIRS.

For some students, music becomes a career. For others, it becomes the thing they love doing after school. For others, it's where they find confidence, creativity, friends and a place to belong.

We take the music seriously, but we take the student even more seriously. Every student's goals, personality, learning style and musical interests are different. Their lessons should be too.

NO COOKIE-CUTTER CURRICULUM.
NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL METHOD.
NO FORCING EVERY STUDENT DOWN THE SAME PATH.

We meet students where they are and help them keep moving forward.

OUR TWO RULES
1 HAVE FUN.
2 KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
THE RSM FACULTY

TAUGHT BY MUSICIANS.

NOT JUST MUSIC TEACHERS.

A great teacher can completely change someone's relationship with music. That's why the RSM faculty is made up of musicians who don't simply understand an instrument. They live music.

Our instructors perform, record, write, create and continue developing their own craft. They're also educators who understand that knowing how to play something and knowing how to teach someone else to play it are two very different skills.

Connect with the student.
Find what inspires them.
Teach them how they learn.
Keep music fun.
Move them forward.

How does Rob's School of Music keep students engaged and loving their lessons every week?


Awesome Events and Recitals

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

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

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

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.
