School  of Groove is a contemporary music school.

That’s quite the  mouthful, so what does it mean?

1. We want you to have FUN! Whether you are 13 or 30, you probably didn’t pick up an instrument to be miserable, you picked it to have fun. We realize some students want to be serious and pursue music as a career, but others want it as a hobby.


2. You have options here. We’re not a classical conservatory, and we’re not rock school. We offer something that you won’t find elsewhere, and that’s a choice. You can study hip hop here, you can study jazz. You can learn Beethoven, and you can learn Zeppelin.


3. You’re going to perform here. We’re not going to stick you in a stuffy recital hall, by yourself, in front of an audience of parents only, we’re going to put you in a professional club, with an audience of music lovers. People are actually going to scream…not just clap politely
