Rockwall School of Music prides itself on not only providing the best teachers to our community of musicians, but also providing a place that will consistently be here for your music lesson needs.  This year was our first year to launch an open enrollment system.  Starting in August 2017 we no longer have specific registration seasons, but rather are now a place that students can walk in and begin their musical journey any time of the year.  To that end we are thrilled to be able to offer consistent year round lessons!  What this means for our 400+ students is they aren’t trying to register and “get the best spot” in the summer but rather will maintain their lessons, same teacher, same time regardless of the summer season!  Our school of music has consistently seen a 10% growth each summer and our current students who want specific days/times can rest assured the time they are registered for is theirs all summer long!

One frequently asked question regarding summers includes the fact that this is a season of travel.  We understand this completely which is why we have created something unique to Rockwall School of Music in that every student who has an absence or even anticipates an absence can take a complimentary make-up class.  Yes you read that right, our make up classes are provided to our students free of charge!  Each class is an hour long, even though most lessons are only 30min.  These classes allow students to work with a professional instructor on theory, performance, and practice techniques.  We offer the classes throughout the season.  If someone anticipates being out an extended time we also offer the option to skype your lessons!!!  That’s right, you can take your lesson from anywhere.  We currently have a violin student that will be spending his summer out of the country and plans to never miss a lesson!!  He and his teacher will schedule the time and the lessons can continue all summer, ensuring the student keep his skills growing and continues to excel.

Here at Rockwall School of Music we have a desire to see our musicians learn and we look forward to watching them grow all year long!!

David Vega
Rockwall School of Music has been an incredible part of our son's musical journey. The instructors are talented, supportive, and truly care about helping students reach their full potential.

Thanks in part to the training, encouragement, and opportunities he received through Rockwall School of Music, our son recently earned acceptance into the prestigious Butler School of Music at The University of Texas. We are grateful for the role the school played in helping him develop both his musical skills and confidence.

If you're looking for a place where students can grow, be challenged, and achieve their goals, I highly recommend Rockwall School of Music. The impact they have on young musicians is truly remarkable.
Response from the owner:Thank you, David, for your wonderful review and for trusting us with your son's musical education. We're thrilled he was accepted to the Butler School of Music at UT and proud to have played a part in his development. Our instructors truly care about helping students grow musically and personally, and your recognition means a lot to the whole team. We appreciate your recommendation and wish him continued success— we're always here to support his next steps.
