You’ve always wanted to become a musician, and you’ve learned the hard way that mastering an instrument, creating songs, and recording brand-new tracks are not the easiest things in the world. You’ve seen countless ads, tried a few lessons, and probably feel a bit skeptical about online music schools.
All music schools, coaches, and instructors say they’re different. At Rock Out Loud, we’re all about transparency. We won’t shower you with promos, one-time discounts, reviews, and testimonies; we’ll give you a quick virtual tour of what you’re missing out on by NOT being a part of New Jersey’s premier music school.
Accelerated Cover Band Crash Course
Dozens of our students are enamored with rock, metal, and jazz bands and want to learn the songs their heroes made as quickly as possible. Usually, music schools don’t pay too much attention to what the students want to learn and follow a pre-set (and often boring) curriculum instead.
We’re not only aware of the little fact that the majority (if not all) of our music students have different music preferences, favorite bands, and songs they want to learn; we’re taking it up a notch by actively addressing these needs, teaching our students how to play any song they want to learn, and more.
Our method is comprised of multiple layers. First, we show our students the ropes – how to hold the guitar, what frets are, how to strum, and a couple of basic chords. Then, we play the song to the students so they can see what they should do first-hand. Thirdly, we teach our students how to use Garage Band to play backing tracks and make learning cover songs easier.
While you’d normally need to spend months to cover all this ground in any other music school, you’ll gain the ability to learn how to cover almost any beginner-level song at Rock Out Loud in merely weeks – or even quicker, if you’re working hard.
Rock Out Loud Bands
You read it correctly, we have our OWN bands at Rock Out Loud. We don’t play “make-believe bands” so that our students can become familiar with what real music groups do on the stage – we help our students form real, authentic music bands with their classmates.
To make our students’ band experience complete, we also host real shows in front of real audiences. No amount of roleplay can prepare aspiring musicians for real performances; that’s why we’ve decided to host rock shows at our live band room first so they could enjoy performing in a controlled environment.
After our student bands cut their teeth at Rock Out Loud, we’re helping them reach the next level by organizing real shows in respectable venues we’ve been partnered with for years. Once again, knowing the local audience and the owners enables our team to set up a controlled show environment, but the shows Rock Out Loud organizes are as real as they can be.
Comprehensive Music Recording Education
With the exception of music colleges and universities, not many music schools teach music recording. Most of them simply mention the gear used to record music and that the process takes place in the recording studio.
Unlike most music schools, Rock Out Loud music coaches understand that many students write riffs at home and even write full songs. What’s more, we understand that everyone has the potential to write an original tune, and that’s why we’re not only teaching music recording – we take our students to a real recording studio so they could experience and interact with real recording equipment and software.
After we cover the basics, we take Rock Out Loud groups to our studio and continue the lessons there. It’s one thing to explain what recording headphones, a mixing board, soundproof panels, and the vocal booth are; it’s a completely different thing to physically interact with these objects and even record simple chords and riffs in person.
Music Lessons for All Ages. New Jersey’s Premier Music School
Experience Learning How to Play an Instrument on Quality Gear
There’s nothing more disheartening for a bassist to be enamored with the sound of the powerful tone of Gene Simmons, Jack Bruce, or Lemmy Killmeister only to realize that the sound your instrument is making is flat, shallow, and downright empty compared to theirs. Innumerable aspiring players gave up on music simply because they didn’t like the sound of their budget gear.
At Rock Out Loud, we understand that our students, especially kids, fall in love with music much faster once they’ve received an opportunity to strum a few chords or play a few beats on good instruments.
We’ve equipped our facilities with cutting-edge guitars, basses, digital pianos, and drum sets, and all of our students can practice and play them. We encourage our students to explore the depths of tone that budget instruments simply lack.
By giving our students an opportunity to test high-quality instruments, we’ve noticed they’re making steady progress; they can’t wait to get back to the learning room and feel inspired to play more frequently than usual.
You’re Missing the Full Package
From teaching the simplest chords to the basics of recording in a real studio to playing authentic shows in venues across NJ to learning what it’s like to play on some of the finest instruments the current market has to offer – you’re missing plenty of unique opportunities by NOT enrolling in Rock Out Loud.
We don’t take the title of New Jersey’s premier music school lightly. We’re beyond grateful that our students love the results and the atmosphere of learning at Rock Out Loud, and we’re committed to constantly improving our offering by partnering with recording studios & rock venues, sourcing even better instruments, and refining our curriculum.
