Accepting students from age 9 — 18 with basic to advanced experience on guitar, bass, drums, vocals, or keys, Pat Sommers’ Rock Shop takes a unique approach to teaching the young musician focusing on stage performance and perfecting musical abilities outside of traditional lessons.

Rock Shop is led exclusively by Pat Sommers, a true recording and performance artist in every sense of the word who has collaborated with Rock n’ Roll greats such as The Who’s Roger Daltrey, Kiss’s Ace Frehley, and legendary producer Eddie Kramer.

«Kids Wanna Rock» is a hands-​on music workshop for less experienced students giving young musicians the opportunity to learn, grow, and perform for live audiences.

Advanced students, rehearse as bands focusing on stage performance, song writing, and perfecting music abilities. Our advanced students have regular opportunities for performing live in real music venues.
