We Offer: Private Lessons, Small Group Classes for Beginners as well as Special Interest Classes/Camps.

MD Turner
My musical journey at Rockwell School of Music has been amazing. The owners and staff are warm and friendly, and it’s obvious they care about the students. From my perspective, the school is well organized, and they do an excellent job of communicating. My piano teacher, Michael Manley is simply outstanding. He’s a gifted musician and instructor, and he’s very patient with older beginning students. I could not have asked for a better music teacher.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review, MD Turner. We're thrilled your musical journey at Rockwell School of Music has been so positive and that our team's warmth, organization, and communication made a difference. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Michael Manley — he’ll be delighted to hear his patience and instruction meant so much. We appreciate you choosing us and sharing your experience.
