Our Teaching
Philosophy
At Rock The Stages Music School, we believe that learning music should be exciting, social, and confidence-building. That’s why we do things differently. Rather than focusing solely on scales and drills, we get students playing songs they love, jamming in bands, and performing live—right from the start.
Our students don’t just learn to play; they learn to perform. Taking the stage helps them grow musically and personally—building courage, teamwork, and self-expression every step of the way.
We use a gamified learning system to track progress, keep students motivated, and make learning feel like leveling up. Through interactive tools, skill challenges, and real-world performances, students stay engaged and excited to practice.
Whether it’s private lessons, group rehearsals, or epic showcase performances at real venues, Rock The Stages offers a modern music education experience unlike anything else in Aurora and Centennial.
Welcome to the stage. Let’s rock.

⭐ Ages 1–5: Little Rockers
Little Rockers is our early childhood music program designed for curious, creative kids ages 1–5. This playful, high-energy class introduces toddlers and preschoolers to the magic of music through movement, rhythm games, sing-alongs, and hands-on instrument exploration.
Using fun activities and familiar rock and pop tunes, our youngest students begin to understand core concepts like beat, melody, dynamics, and song structure—all while building listening skills, coordination, and confidence.
Each week, kids learn through music-based play, laying the groundwork for future success in any instrument they choose. Whether they’re dancing to a groove, shaking maracas, or jamming on a drum pad, they’re doing more than just having fun—they’re becoming Little Rockers.
🎸 Ages 6–11: Rising Rockstars
Rising Rockstars is where young musicians ages 6–11 start turning practice into performance. Weekly private lessons keep things fun and personalized, helping students build solid skills on guitar, drums, piano, voice, or any instrument they love.
Kids can also join an optional band, where they’ll jam with others, learn real songs, and perform at local events. It’s one of the most exciting parts of our school—and a huge confidence booster.
Along the way, students develop more than just musical talent. They build teamwork, focus, creativity, and the kind of confidence that lasts a lifetime.
Whether solo or in a group, Rising Rockstars helps kids grow into musicians—and leaders.


🎤 Ages 12–17: Stage Legends
Stage Legends is our premier program for teens ages 12–17 ready to take their music and personal growth to the next level. Students receive weekly private lessons tailored to their skill level, goals, and favorite genres—rock, pop, metal, indie, punk, and more.
They also have the optional opportunity to join a real student band, rehearsing weekly and performing live at local venues. While not required, it’s one of the most exciting and confidence-building parts of the program—and highly encouraged.
More than just music, Stage Legends helps teens build teamwork, confidence, discipline, and leadership—skills they’ll use for life.
Whether your teen wants to jam solo or rock the stage with a band, Stage Legends gives them the tools—and the spotlight—to shine.
🎶 Ages 17+: All Access – Adult Band Program
Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time or getting back into music after years away, All Access is built for adult players who want to grow, jam, and perform.
This program combines weekly private lessons with the option to join an adult band—a fun, low-pressure environment where you’ll rehearse real songs with fellow musicians and take the stage at local venues. You’ll improve faster by applying skills in a real-world setting, not just the practice room.
Along the way, you’ll build not only musical chops, but also confidence, creativity, and connection—because it’s never too late to rock.



🌐 Rock the Stages LIVE (Online)
Rock the Stages LIVE brings our high-energy music lessons straight to you—wherever you are. With weekly one-on-one virtual lessons, students of all ages can learn guitar, piano, drums, voice, and more from the comfort of home.
We use the same proven, performance-based approach as our in-person programs—focused on real songs, real progress, and real confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or picking music back up, our online lessons are fun, flexible, and built around your goals.
