Do you want to know what makes guitar lessons in Suffern, NY at Rob’s School of Music different from all other music schools? We customize each and every lesson to the student. No cookie cutter lesson plans; no “one size fits all” programs.
Once we figure out what each student loves about music and wants to learn, we can then adjust to their learning styles.
All of our guitar teachers have degrees in music and use their years of recording and touring experience to make learning guitar and bass FUN! Within the first 30-minute guitar lesson, you will be PLAYING GUITAR!
If you don’t already have your own guitar, no worries! We have over 30 different guitars in the school for you to try out to see which shape and style is right for you! You can start on an acoustic or electric, full size or ¾. We also have professional amplifiers ranging from Marshall, Fender and Mesa/Boogie along with a whole library of modern and vintage effects pedals.
Every student who is enrolled in guitar lessons gets a full rock star experience starting from their very first lesson!
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.
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.
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 ROBFor 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.
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.
