When people think of a song or a band, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the singer. That’s what they’re singing along to, but what is it that they are tapping their foot along to? That’s the DRUMMER! The drummer has the most important job in the band. They keep the whole band together and provide the groove that everyone is dancing to all night long.
At Rob’s School of Music in Suffern, NY, our drum teachers will show you all of the fundamental skills needed to play all styles of music ranging from a rock band to a marching band. Our drum studio has both an acoustic and electric kit set up in such a way that the student and teacher can perfectly see what each other is playing. We even have a Questlove signature micro kit for our younger students.
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 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.
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.
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 ROBYOUR CHILD DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER ACTIVITY.
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.
We meet students where they are and help them keep moving forward.
TAUGHT BY MUSICIANS.
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.
How does Rob's School of Music keep students engaged and loving their lessons every week?
