What are Kids Saying About the Rock Dojo?
“I have been in Brian’s class for two years and I have really learned a lot. The songs he makes and teaches me are amazing! I have had an amazing experience and admire his belt system. He has inspired me a lot and if I didn’t have him as a guitar teacher, then I don’t think I would be playing the guitar right now.”– Ethan, age-12
