Hi Amitha,
A huge well done to Fiza and Zayan on their first ever Rocksteady concert! Performing on stage for the first time is such a big moment, and it's fantastic to hear how confident they felt alongside their bandmates. Stephen will be so pleased to hear this too.
Many thanks,

Rocksteady has been brilliant for my daughter Isla. She chose to sing and it has really brought out her confidence. We watched her third concert yesterday and each time she improves and grows.
She really enjoys her time with her band and Daz is great. Such a laugh and always has great fun with everyone.
Thanks again :)

Mack has been an amazing drumming teacher for my son. He can be quite reserved, but he warmed to Mack incredibly quickly, which speaks volumes about Mack's friendly and engaging approach. My son was very nervous about starting Reception, but Thursdays quickly became something he looked forward to because of his drumming lessons. Mack has definitely instilled a real passion for music in him, and I've been so impressed by his ability to connect with and engage the children. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

Hi Faith,
Starting Reception can be a big step for any child, so it's wonderful to hear that band lessons gave your son something to look forward to each Thursday. And it's brilliant that he's found a real passion for music along the way!
Mack will be really happy to know he's made such an impression too.
Many thanks,

My daughter has really enjoyed her Rock Steady sessions. She is generally a quiet, shy character, and has not played an instrument before, but now plays a few chords on the guitar, and was excited to perform in the summer concert. Clearly the teaching, the community, the sense of being in the band, and the occasion of the concert have worked their magic. We will happily continue her lessons in the next school year. Daz, the Rock Steady teacher at Bishop Wood School, clearly knows how to get the best out of kids.

Hi there,
It's brilliant to hear how much your daughter has grown through her Rocksteady lessons. Building confidence alongside brand new skills, especially for a child who hasn't played an instrument before, is exactly what we love to see, and it sounds like she really shone at the end of term concert.
We're so pleased she'll be continuing her musical journey with us next year. Daz will be delighted to hear this feedback too.
Many thanks,

Total waste of money at 40 odd quid
Total waste of money at 40 odd quid. My son has been taught barely anything and they have missed around 2 months of lessons due to nobody being available to teach the lessons. All I got was a £10 refund. I would avoid and get my son proper music lessons in the future.

Hi Dwane, we're really sorry that your experience hasn't been the positive one we aim to provide. We can't find an account in your name but hopefully the below helps to provide some more information.
We understand how important consistency is for a child's musical progress, so will always look to find cover for lessons when your child's usual band leader is unavailable. This is why your subscription guarantees a minimum of 33 band lessons and concerts across the academic year (or the equivalent based on when your child started Rocksteady), to account for unexpected band leader sickness that we're unable to provide cover for. On the rare occasion this number isn't this met, a credit or refund will, of course, be issued to make up the difference.
If you'd like to chat through this further, please do get in touch with our customer service team on 0330 113 0330 or email info@rocksteadymusicschool.com and they'll be more than happy to help.
Many thanks,

We pay over £44 a month because it seems that the paying parents subsidise the cost for the parents that don’t have to pay, which is very frustrating.
My son has been doing this since October and I’ve got to say, what a waste of money.
The cost doesn’t change over Easter/xmas or half terms even though my son misses lessons when the school is closed, and he has missed at least 3 lessons due to rocksteady not having teachers available.
The school also lied and said it was an 8 week program but rocksteady didn’t schedule the first performance until March.
Overall almost £400 spent and my son had very very basic skills.
Absolutely rubbish.

Hi Hannah, thank you for your feedback and we're very sorry to hear there has been disruption to your son's band lessons. We can't find an account in your name, but hopefully the below explains more about Rocksteady's subscription and approach to teaching music.
Whenever a band leader is unable to teach a lesson, we will always aim to provide a cover teacher so the children's progress is not impacted. Unfortunately this isn't always possible, which is why your subscription guarantees a minimum of 33 band lessons and concerts across the academic year (or the equivalent based on when your child started Rocksteady). This minimum lesson number accounts for any band leader sickness that we are unable to provide cover for. On the rare occasion this number isn't this met, a credit or refund will, of course, be issued to make up the difference.
To explain a little more about our approach, Rocksteady teaches children to play music together as a band, focusing on fundamentals such as timing and synchronisation, alongside instrument technique and performance skills, working towards an exam-free music qualification accredited by Trinity College London. The termly concerts then give children the opportunity to put all this into practice in front of a supportive audience.
We'd really like to look into your individual experience. Please do get in touch with our customer service team on 0330 113 0330 or email info@rocksteadymusicschool.com and they will look into this.
Many thanks,

Has brought my daughter out of her shell completely!
Rock Steady has exceeded every expectation we had. My daughter is naturally very shy, so to see her stand up in front of a whole room full of people and sing on her own at the concert was incredible – I was so incredibly proud of her!
The lessons have done wonders for her confidence. She has grown so much, and now she positively looks forward to her band practice every single Friday. You have created such a fun, safe and encouraging space where the children feel brave enough to shine.
Thank you to all the team and her brilliant teacher Chris for everything you do – we couldn’t recommend you more highly! 🎸🎤💖

Impressive
My 7 Yr old joined a rocksteady band in March and yesterday performed at his first concert. I was so impressed by the confidence and talent of all the children who took part.
Liam is a real credit to your organisation. His energy and enthusiasm with all the groups and children was exceptional and his encouragement while they were playing was the motivation they needed.
Well done Liam and Rocksteady

Rock steady has been instrumental (no pun intended) in helping my little girl to make new friends and work tremendously as part of a group.
My little one has thoroughly enjoyed learning how to play bass guitar for a variety of different songs and has had amazing opportunities to perform in her own concerts.
I would highly recommend rocksteady to anyone who’s child may struggle making friends or who may need a sense of belonging
