Major props to Brian and Sophie!Alexis Pollak2024-03-14Rock Dojo is the best! Our child is actually learning guitar and in only a few lessons was able to start strumming a tune. I am so impressed by this program and will keep my son in it for as long as we can. What a well-structured, fun program for kids - rare these days!Erica Leader2024-03-14Great guitar teacher for kids! Patient, understanding, and my son always has a fun time.Kelsi Roberts2024-03-07My son is very active, and sometimes sitting still is hard - especially after school. But he loves Rock Dojo, and the teachers help meet his need to move and help him focus. He's always so excited to show me what he's learned!Julia Bromka2024-01-22Our son has done an after school program and the online course with Rock Dojo and loves it. He is dyslexic and the way that Brian has designed reading music really works for him. We can't get enough of this program.Kit Sandstrom2023-11-24Both of my daughters love Rock Dojo. Brian is thoughtful and his approach is very organized including online lessons and a curriculum that progress like the belts in martial arts. We especially appreciated his thoughtfulness and effort when schools were closed to keep lessons going online.Carlton Evans2023-10-16Our daughter loves Rock Dojo! Brian and Sophie are amazing, they do a great job of inspiring the kids and have a really well thought out, engaging multimedia curriculum. Can't recommend enough!
