Founded in 2008 and offered to students ages 7 – 18, Rock Academy is an Asheville Music School that teaches Year-Round Rock Band Performance Classes that take our bands out of the classrooms and into Asheville’s music scene. Students learn to perform a wide variety of musical styles and songs of various genres including blues, classic rock, hard rock, punk, surf, americana and more. Students develop life-long friendships while they learn to function in a group setting with their peers.
Our music students grow into skilled musicians and take their band “on the road” to play in front of live audiences at some of the top venues in the area (The Orange Peel, The Gray Eagle, White Horse Black Mountain, Asheville’s Down-Town After Five, Aloft Hotel, Biltmore Park, Folkmoot, Bacon-fest, and many more!).
The Asheville Rock Academy’s talented students have played some high-profile gigs, including the Main stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Academy bands have also played with Cliff Williams of AC/DC, Victor Wooten and Roy Wooten of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, guitar shredder Joe Stump and American Idol’s Caleb Johnson. The future of rock is in good hands with these committed teen musicians and their dedicated teachers.
Adult Rock Academy (18+ Graduated from High School) is where you will join other like-minded adults and prepare to perform live on stage. You will learn to play some of the best rock songs ever written.
We provide the sound equipment and the stage in our state-of-the-art facility along with amazing mentors who are performing musicians themselves. You provide the desire and the passion to get on stage and live your Rock and Roll Fantasy!
