    About MeContact Me
    The Rock and Roll Conservatory is a facility dedicated to mentoring the next generation of influential artists. With a focus on the mentoring of students, as opposed to the conventional method of teaching, the RnRC develops more than just an understanding of music within its students. The RnRC works closely with each student to help them develop an understanding of themselves and help them learn how to apply that understanding to the exceptional music training received through the RnRC.

    The mentors found at the RnRC always put the needs of the student first. Whether it's staying late to help the student understand the lesson being taught, offering advice and their presence to assist a student in overcoming the nerves of a first show, or being there to listen when personal struggles arise, the mentors at RnRC offer far more than just an understanding of notes and rhythm. They offer an understanding of what it takes to make personal, sincere music that touches the lives of others, an understanding of music as a business and knowledge on how to make it in the industry, and of course, exceptional understanding of the principles and fundamentals of music theory. Our mentors believe in finding the prodigy within every student.

    SERVICES WE OFFER

    $180 per month (scholarships available)
    $50 per session, a la cart
    When most schools and private tutors are offering their services for as much as $50 for a half hour lesson, only the rich kids get educated. We love teaching more than we love making money, so if you can't afford the going rate, just let us know. We'll work with you and within your budget to make sure that you get the opportunity to learn how to express yourself. 1 hour per session, 1 session per week.

    .-= Band mentorship =-.
    $120 per month per student (scholarships available)
    $35 per session, a la cart
    This fun group-style lesson is a great way for you to learn how to play your instrument while being in a real band. Get a few friends together and you'll learn your instrument, write music together, record your music, perform shows, and it's all cheaper than a private lesson! Minimum of 3 students (drums, bass, & guitar). 2 hour time-slot weekly. Amps and drum kit provided.

    .-= Classroom Mentorship =-.
    $100 per month per student (scholarships available)
    $30 per session, a la cart
    This session is a great way to learn the same instrument with a friend. Availability is conditional upon whether or not the students have a similar ability level. Minimum of 2 students on the same instrument. 1 hour per session, 1 session per week.


    TERMS OF SERVICE
    .-= Classroom and Single Instrument Mentorship =-.
    (Scheduled weekly, by the hour)

    Most teachers schedule by the mere 1/2 hour which only serves to rush a student through a lesson and leaves little time for feedback and personal encouragement. We believe in taking the time needed to get to know the student, answer questions, and work through the methods.

    .-= Band Mentorship =-.
    (Scheduled weekly, in 2 hour blocks)

    In order to get the most out of the band sessions, we require a two-hour per week timeslot. That gives our mentor enough time to go over writing, recording, and give individuals focused time, if needed.

    .-= Payment Policy =-.
    Tuition is due on or before the first of each month for that month's mentorship. It will be considered late the day after the student's first scheduled lesson for that month, or seven days, whichever comes first. A $25 late fee will be assessed to the tuition in the event of a late payment. Payment can be made in cash, check (made out to Joe Wiles), money order, or by credit/debit card via Paypal.

    .-= Scheduling Policy =-.
    When tuition is paid on the first of the month, it will be implied that the student(s) is reserving their timeslots for the forthcoming month. Once signed up for a slot, that slot belongs to the student(s) and will not be scheduled over for any reason. In the event that one of our mentors can't make the lesson, a knowledgable, adequate substitute mentor will be present. If there are any rescheduling requests or cancellations, they will need to be discussed when tuition is paid. In the event of a missed session, our mentors, as always, will do their best to reschedule the student, even in the event of a last minute cancellation, but there will be no refunds on tuition in the event that the student and mentor can not find a mutually agreeable time. If your mentor has a conflict and can not reschedule and an adequate substitute cannot be present, you will be credited or refunded. No-call/no-shows will not be rescheduled, credited, or refunded. Pricing is based on a 4-week month and any missed, cancelled, or un-reschedulable lesson will be assumed to be made up on a month with 5 lessons in it. Any disputes will be handled fairly.

    .-= Referal Bonus =-.
    If you refer anyone to the RnRC and they sign up for at least a month, you will receive either a $50 credit to your next month's tuition or $50 cash. In the event that a student refers a friend and the student is not the one who pays tuition, the bonus will be offered to the payer of the tuition.
