SUGGESTED BEGINNING AGES FOR MUSIC LESSONS

For ages 4-5 we offer both piano and violin private lessons. For all other instruments, the suggested minimum age is 6 years old. For string bass, the suggested minimum age is 12 years old.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private Lessons offer students one-on-one individualized instruction for 30, 45, or 60 minutes once weekly.

SCHEDULING

Lessons are offered year-round. The RSM year has 47 lessons September through August. Except as otherwise agreed, you will have the same lesson time each week. All scheduling is done through the office. To request a change of lesson time, please speak with someone in our office. Instructors cannot make schedule changes.

CANCELLATIONS
Cancelled lessons are not refundable. For make-up lesson alternatives, see Cancellation Policy Here.
ORIENTATION
There is an Orientation scheduled for a portion of the first lesson. During this orientation, parents and students will meet with the instructor to discuss lesson details and expectations. New students are asked to arrive 5 minutes early to be sure necessary paperwork is completed.
EXPECTATIONS
Students are encouraged to arrive at least 5 minutes before their scheduled lesson time. Bring all books, assignments, and materials necessary to be prepared for each lesson. It is also essential for music students to put in the necessary practice time at home. Students who are the most successful are those who complete their weekly practice assignments and arrive at their lesson ready to learn!
BOOKS AND MATERIALS
As a convenience to our students, an annual fee to cover books and other materials, including trophies, recitals, etc, will be charged when registering. On the anniversary date of enrolling, a supply fee will be charged annually for all new material needed for the upcoming year.
SPECIAL ASSISTANCE TO ENSURE SUCCESS
Should an instructor sense that a student needs additional instruction with class assignments, it may be necessary to schedule additional private lessons to address specific challenges and help the student stay on task. These lessons will be scheduled at the request of the instructor as an addition to the weekly private lesson, and the standard lesson rate will apply.

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.
