About Us

Our School of Music

Since 2004, Virtuoso Arts, Inc, dba ‘Rockwall School of Music’, has been providing convenience to our families. Rockwall School of Music (aka ‘RSM’) provides multiple teachers for most every type of music lesson. By having so many options for lesson times, students, teens, and adults, find it super simple to carve out a 30-, 45- or 60-minute block of time weekly for their morning, afternoon or evening lessons. RSM is open seven days a week to easily coordinate with your busy schedule. Our goal is to provide you with the most amazing selection of teachers in the greater Rockwall area. They will foster your musical interest by helping you learn the music that YOU want to play or sing.

The perceived challenge of learning music isn’t a challenge at all, once you are connected with the right teacher. That’s where we come in…we’ve taken all the guess-work out of finding a quality teacher who has a passion for teaching. That’s at the core of what RSM offers. You can be assured that our teachers have one goal in mind…helping you develop the skills that’s needed for you to succeed!

Congratulations on serving the Rockwall and Greater Dallas area for 30 years - providing musical instruction at the highest level. The musical world is a better place because of the artistic instruction that goes on weekly at the Rockwall School of Music.

It is a privilege to recommend the Rockwell School of Music to all those seeking a place to learn, polish, and enhance their musical skills. I have know the owners, Russ and Karen Porter, since our college days in the School of Music at Ouachita Baptist University and then at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

A few years ago I also became a student at The Rockwall School of Music when for Christmas my wife, Rhonda, bought me a violin and purchased lessons for me at the school. It was a treat to go back into the practice room and begin to learn a new musical instrument. Their musical legacy in Rockwall is second to none - with hundreds of students, young and old, taking lessons each week.

Bravo! Rockwall School of Music!
