Awards will be approved and supervised by the Rock U. board of directors through an application process.

Private Lessons at Rock U.
Individual lessons
…are perfect for Rock U. students who are looking for more than simply a band experience, or who want a little extra help learning their parts, or for anyone who wants to learn an instrument or improve their playing. Unlike traditional music schools or private teachers, we don’t require a weekly or long-term commitment from our students.
Lessons are available at our studio or online. Please note your preference in your lesson request. Rock U. doesn’t offer in-home lessons at this time.
Check out our roster of talented instructors here!
Fees for individual lessons
30-minute lesson: 37,50€
55-minute lesson (age 10 and up): 70€
Private lessons follow the Rock U. youth band trimester periods and the Paris Zone C school calendar. Lessons can be scheduled outside these periods, subject to the instructor’s availability.
