Our premier performance program for budding rock stars of all ages
Musicologie Anderson RockStars Rock Band Classes in Anderson, Ohio
Have you dreamed of playing with a band on stage? Join Musicologie RockStars, our premier rock and pop performance program. You’ll learn a mix of contemporary and classic songs practicing with your band once per week. RockStars students meet new friends, are more excited about learning in their private lessons each week and have a blast playing at real venues. It’s a great way to grow as a player in a fast and exciting environment.
How the RockStars Program Works
Each rock band is made up of 4-6 players grouped by instrument and age. Band members have one hour long rehearsal each week and one 30 minute private lesson. They work on their individual parts in their private lessons and come together during the band rehearsal to practice playing as a group.
We're here to help! We want you to be completely comfortable with Musicologie and our programs before you sign up for a membership.
Playing in a group is a proven way to fast track your playing. Any musician will tell you that playing with others is more interesting and rewarding than playing solo. Plus, it's fun! Musicologie RockStars is designed to harness the excitement of playing on stage and use that to make learning music engaging. Our rock band students can't wait to go home and practice their parts!
Bands choose from a menu of music arranged specifically for their ability level. Parts are available online with practice recordings so reviewing at home is simple!
Musicologie Students Have a Blast!
We have more than 5000 students and hundreds of 5-star reviews! Musicologie students love learning music, enjoy the community and make serious progress.

Our Philosophy of Education
We are driven by a set of unifying principles that guide every lesson, every class, and every interaction.
We Start Early
Research shows the earlier you start, the more lifetime benefits you receive from studying music.
We Believe in Immersion + Exploration
All our lessons and classes are experiential and immersive, fun and exciting!
We Teach Life Skills
Music is awesome! It teaches so many things: emotional intelligence, discipline, self-awareness, motor skills, dexterity and more.
We Assume Good Intentions
We grow the trust, mutual respect and confidence of our students by assuming good intentions from everyone.
We Teach the Process of Learning
We focus on the process rather than the product, facilitating discovery rather than dictating information. We teach how to learn, not just what to learn.
We Encourage Mistakes
Making mistakes is what learning is. You try something, make mistakes, and try again. We encourage mistakes so our students are excited to take risks and try new things.
Our Responsibility
We know a student's success is our responsibility. It's our job to make lessons engaging, fun, and easy to be excited about.
Frequently Asked Questions
At Musicologie Anderson, we understand you may have questions! We want you to have total confidence that Musicologie is the right place for you or your child to start, or continue your musical journey. So we've collected the most frequently asked questions about our music lessons, our programs, and what it's like learning music at Musicologie.
The Musicologie Method™ is rooted in two things: a safe environment, and education through play. Research tells us these two elements are key components of the way everyone learns, from kids through adults.
In music lessons, a safe environment means a place where you feel free to be who you are, encouraged to play the music you enjoy, and excited to try new things. Education through play means having fun playing your instrument! That's why it's called playing music! We use games and strategies to help our music students make serious progress while enjoying the process.
We know that you'll stay more engaged by learning music you love and you'll grow faster by using what you've learned in your lessons in performances. We'll take our own Musicologie Method, along with traditional method books like Suzuki, Alfred's, Faber, etc., and combine that with contemporary music you're excited about with the goal of performing in one of our ensembles, group classes, or at one of our concerts.
We teach all ages. Many of our students are between the ages of 5 and 12, but we teach toddlers and we teach many adults, too! Our toddler music class is called Musicologie Junior and starts at 6 months. Private lessons start at 5. We also have a rock band class called Rockstars where students ages 7+ learn to be rock stars and play at local venues!
We also have member workshops, open mics, and concerts for all our students, including adults! At Musicologie Anderson, not only can you learn an instrument from an amazing, friendly, certified teacher, but you can meet other musicians and join a community of music explorers!
Not for your first lesson. We have instruments at our studios you can use for the first few lessons. But after that you'll want to get your own instrument for practice at home. Your teacher will help you pick out the right one. We also have open practice hours so you can come in and use instruments and practice rooms at Musicologie during the week.
If you do have your own instrument, you should definitely bring it with you, as long as it's easily portable - leave your piano and drums at home 
Get started here by answering a few questions. We'll match you with a teacher and find a time that works for ongoing lessons. The first lesson is called an assessment lesson.
An assessment lesson is what we call your first lesson. Don't worry, it's not a test! You'll come in, meet your teacher, talk about your goals, go through our policies and develop an individual curriculum. Every student does it regardless of age or ability. For very young students, an assessment is also a chance to see if they're ready for private lessons.
A Lesson Membership is how you sign up for ongoing lessons, classes or programs at Musicologie. It is a flat fee billed monthly. With a Lesson Membership you get:
- A weekly lesson or class scheduled at the same day and time with the same teacher - 30, 45 or 60 minutes long, depending on the program
- Unlimited rescheduling with 24 hour cancellation notice
- Member Events and Concerts
Sure, we offer drop-in lessons for students who can't commit to a weekly lesson.
Managing your lessons and classes online is easy!
Of course! Here's how it works:
- Log into your account at Musicologie.com
- Find the lesson you want to change and select 'cancel' or 'reschedule' at least 24 hours before the lesson. Musicologie Junior and Accelerated Labs can be canceled or rescheduled up to 30 minutes before the class.
- The canceled lesson will remain in your account to reschedule at any point in the future.
- If you withdraw from lessons, you can no longer reschedule any lessons you cancelled.
- If you re-enroll, any previously cancelled lessons will still be available in your account.
You will be charged a prorated amount for the remaining days in the month and then you’ll go into our automated system and be billed on the 1st of each month for the upcoming month.
When you sign up for lessons, your credit card or debit card will be automatically debited a flat fee each month on the 1st of the month. To withdraw, you need to provide us with 30-days notice by filling out a withdrawal form. Contact your teacher for the form.
To withdraw from lessons, you must give 30 days advance notice by filling out our online exit form. This is the only way to withdraw. Contact us for the exit form.
