The Rock n’ Roll Conservatory

Specialties

The Rock and Roll Conservatory (RnRC) is a facility dedicated to mentoring the next generation of influential artists. With a focus on the mentoring of students, as opposed to a conventional method of teaching, the RnRC develops more than just an understanding of music within its students. The RnRC works closely with each student to help them develop an understanding of themselves and help them learn how to apply that understanding to the exceptional music education received through the RnRC.

History

Established in 2006.

The RnRC began as a small guitar lesson studio with the philosophy that mentorship, as opposed to a more standard teaching model, led to a more well-​rounded education for the student as well as longer-​term success. Within 6 months, strong interest in the mentoring and coaching of other instruments led to the development of curriculae that catered to vocalists, bassists, and drummers.
