LESSON INFORMATION
Music lessons are an investment. Rock U students range from age 5 to 80 and all of them are benefiting from the gift of music. Some students have used their musical gift to propose to their wives. Others to get through a hard time. Some write original songs about loved ones and others about loved ones they've lost. Playing music is good for the brain, but it's also good for the soul. Some Rock U students have gone on to pursue music professionally, signing recording and publishing deals in Nashville and LA. Some have been on national TV shows like "The Voice", "Real Country" and "Streets Of Dreams" and one was hand picked by Andrew Lloyd Webber after an audition in NYC and got to go on tour with the national broadway production of 'School of Rock'. Some of our students have made it into their high school jazz bands and others take rock band classes with us here at the studio. One of the bands we coach, won the Corner Canyon High School Battle of the Bands and finished third in the state overall, as FRESHMAN in 2022! They then WON the state championship in 2023 as Sophomores! Shy students are encouraged to perform at their school talent shows and become the star at school for the day which helps boost self-esteem and self-confidence. Some students are back porch rockstars or just like to jam out in their bedrooms and that's cool too! No matter how you choose to use the gift, it is a skill that you an use throughout your life!

ABOUT ROCK U
Mission Statement
Rock University is about more than simply learning an instrument; It’s about finding a passion, building self-confidence, expanding on talents, discovering success and accomplishment, and providing positive role models, all in an incredible and inspiring atmosphere.
​
Philosophy
It is our philosophy that music makes the world a better place. Music inspires creativity and imagination. It offers a way to communicate emotions that are sometimes lacking in the written word. Music can lift. It can lead. It is a gift. It is the desire of Rock University to give this gift to all who want it.
Part of the Rock U curriculum encourages students to write and perform original music (as well as learn the popular radio songs they love) as a way to foster their individual creativity and find their own inspirations.
Studies have shown that playing a musical instrument can make you smarter, more disciplined, less stressed and give you a great sense of achievement. Rock University strives to be the premiere music studio in the state. We are committed to excellence in teaching and the enjoyment of our students. Rock U owner, Jared Barney, has been teaching for thirty years. Fifteen of those years have now been right here in Draper at Rock U. In that time, Jared and his team of hand picked professionals, have taught all ages and all abilities the joy of playing music in a fun, organized and friendly environment.
