General Rock School Information

Our challenge: Show us a person, young or old, who doesn’t like music!

Upper Valley Presents’ Rock School is a community-based educational program that teaches creativity, teamwork, social skills and builds self-esteem and confidence through music. Our mission is to create a positive atmosphere in which students are motivated and encouraged through hands-on learing to achieve their own personal fulfillment, whether through instrumentation, song writing, singing, or recording. We strive to bring communities together, to reach out to kids, young or old, and to create an atmosphere that truly Rocks! From here, we will expand our vision and hope that other communities will recognize the value that music plays in the lives of our students and audiences everywhere.

Rock School is brought to you by Upper Valley Presents, a Vermont nonprofit that celebrates neighborhood by bringing educational and artistic events to the Upper Valley. Other programs brought by UVP are Summer Days Camp, Music Together (a family music programs for ages birth to K) and the Open Air Summer Family Concert series.

Sponsors and partners of Rock School include Purple Crayon Productions, Hanover Recreation, Hartford Recreation, Lebanon Recreation, Castleton State College, Woodstock Recreation, Lebanon Opera House, Hypertherm, Pentagle Council of the Arts, CATV, GroSolar, Whaleback Ski Area, TransCanada, Hanover Strings and Blue Mountain Guitar. Also, kudos to the efforts of the parents of players for getting them to where they are in their lives and where they need to be each week.
