Great opportunity for kids

I was immensely proud to see all the kids perform in front of a crowd at the school performance! What a brilliant opportunity—not only to learn how to play a musical instrument, but also to develop teamwork skills and experience what it feels like to perform in front of an audience. I truly think the whole experience is fantastic for kids.
I also have to mention how much I enjoyed the way the Band Leader conducted the concert and shared insights on each child’s progress since they started. I could tell they really enjoy it. I’m very impressed with Rocksteady!

It’s ok and my son enjoys it

It’s ok and my son enjoys it. But I wish they’d maybe do one concert a year and actually teach the children to play the instrument. I feel the concerts sound terrible and not much skills are taught because it’s rushed. We’ve started looking for real drum lessons now

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your feedback.

It's great that your son enjoys his Rocksteady lessons but we're sorry to hear you haven't been happy with his progress.

Rocksteady’s unique way of teaches children to play music together as a band by focusing on fundamentals such as timing and synchronisation, alongside introducing instrument technique and performance skills. This group-based approach not only encourages musical progress, but also supports teamwork, social skills and encourages new friendships.

Rocksteady children also all have the opportunity to achieve an exam-free music qualification, accredited by Trinity College, by working through a curriculum of up to 300 skills. The termly concerts can be a transformational experience for children, helping to boost their confidence as they get the opportunity to showcase these new skills to friends and family.

Please do reach out on 0330 113 0330 (local rate), or email info@rocksteadymusicschool.com to chat through this further.

Many thanks,

First concert and impressed !!

Just got back from our first RockSteady concert which was such great fun ! My son has only been going to practice for a few weeks but still put on an amazing performance with his band (although i maybe slightly bias!) Daz has worked wonders with my son and seeing him interact with the kids on the stage (and the audience !) i can see why - he's fantastic and a credit to Rocksteady !!

I have three children who have all done…

I have three children who have all done rocksteady through primary school. I think it’s an amazing programme for their confidence. They have had various band leaders who all seem so passionate about music and helping the children’s skills grow.
My elder two are now at senior school but I really feel rocksteady helped them feel comfortable on stage and perform in front of people which is such a great skill for their future! We have just watched my
Youngest concert today and seeing all the kids excitement, bravery and confidence was amazing!

Hi there,

Thank your for this lovely review.

It's wonderful to hear your children have all enjoyed their Rocksteady experience and that your youngest shined on stage at their recent end of term concert!

Having the opportunity to perform at an early age is a hugely rewarding experience that helps children develop their confidence, and it's fantastic that these skills have stuck with your eldest two as they've continued on to secondary school.

Excellent extra curricular opportunity

Daz is a fantastic, patient and kind teacher. He understands the diverse needs of every child at our school and works alongside them all so they can achieve their best. Not only do they learn something new each week that they build on, their confidence and love of music goes from strength to strength. We have received lots of positive feedback form our parents about the concert and we are very much looking forward to our next event!

My son loves rocksteady

My son loves rocksteady. He is always excited to do his lessons on a Friday, only thing he loves to go to school for. He had his first concert the other day and brought tears to my eyes… was amazing. His learning to play guitar and is now getting one for home for Christmas. All staff are friendly and my son gets on well with them which is great to hear. I would definitely recommend it. Great to see my child enjoy something else rather than just football. Would like to say thank you.

Thank you for another great concert Daz! Loved the words it’s not just about the music - but confidence and team work. That said, all the bands sounded great and I can’t believe what skills the kids learn in one lesson a week!

Waste of money

Waste of money. We are paying a monthly fee for our child to learn 5 lines. She learns way more through youtube. On top, today is performance day. There was a build up. I even coordinated my parents to join....and last minute an email comes thru to inform us that the show is postponed. Not only has rocksteady disappointed me but also my child who is now upset... and parents who cancelled their other appointment. Why not have back up? I am so disappointed with the whole experience. Quite frankly, I want my money back!

Hi Frances,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please accept our sincere apologies that your child’s end of term concert has had to be postponed. We understand how much children look forward to showcasing their new skills to friends and family, and appreciate that arrangements are often made ahead of time for family to attend.

When your usual band leader is unable to lead a concert, we’ll always do everything we can to find a cover teacher, but unfortunately on this occasion it wasn’t possible to do so. Please be assured we are looking at potential new dates for your child's concert to take place, and we'll be in touch as soon as something is booked.

Rocksteady’s unique way of teaching focuses on learning to play together as a band by teaching fundamentals such as timing and synchronisation, alongside introducing instrument and vocal technique and performance skills. This not only improves children musical skills but also supports teamwork, social skills and encourages new friendships.

We’re very sorry again for the disruption to the end of term concert. If you’d like to chat through this further, please get in touch on 0330 113 0330 (local rate), or email info@rocksteadymusicschool.com.

Many thanks,
Rocksteady Music School
