Here at Kids Rock Free, students at all levels are welcome, and no student is ever turned away due to their lack of experience or skill. Our program consists of four sessions, each spanning eight weeks. Lessons are taught once a week so that each session consists of eight lessons. 

KRF lessons include Beginnings Level 1-4, Intermediate, and Advanced courses. But students may choose to continue in a level if they feel it will be helpful. There are students of all ages at every level, so no child should ever feel embarrassed about where they begin.

Intermediate Level

Those students that complete Levels 1 – 4 are placed in the Intermediate music class. Areas of study include more advanced reading notation, improvisation strategies, performance of popular music of varying genres. Materials used for this class are a combination of original materials and arrangements, song charts, excerpts from periodicals, and several method books.

 

Advanced Level

Students that do well in the Intermediate Level, and show a strong willingness to grow as a musician, are placed in the Advanced Level. Most of the students that are in this class are also in performance groups at their high school and in the KRF band program. The areas of study are similar to the intermediate but with a higher level of performance.
