High School

We offer group piano classes for different age groups: ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and 13-16 year olds. Maximum of 6 students in a class. In this class our students learn the art of piano playing in a fun, and easy environment, more relaxed than in individual lessons. Young kids develop their musical abilities - rhythm, ear training, musical memory, musical literacy, elementary theory, etc. Some children will go on to individual lessons after attending this class for a few months, others just love to learn piano in this setting.

Ensemble offers a chorus for interested high school age girls to pursue their love of singing as they take on more academic and community responsibilities and challenges. In addition to performing very challenging music of all genres, the Ensemble singers serve as cultural ambassadors for our community.

Concerta is the advanced girls ensemble made up of experienced and talented choristers ages 11 to 14. This ensemble has garnered acclaim for its performances throughout the Bay Area, delighting audiences with its sensitive performance of challenging repertoire. Concerta singers also participate in a week-long summer camp in August of each year.

We are proud to offer the Bay Areas most fun, hands on, Rock and Roll Summer Camps. We specialize in helping musicians ages 8-18 realize their full potential in music and in life. Our week long Rock and Roll Boot-Camps are a glimpse in to what we do at the School of Rock year round. Of course, as with everything we do here, our camps culminate with a real Rock and Roll show put on by our Boot-Campers.

From the moment a student joins one of our schools they are playing music; loud, on professional equipment with other musicians. Before long, our students are playing live rock concerts. These are not your old fashioned wait -through-fifty-other-students mangling-their-songs- until-your-child’s- turn-arrives recitals, but real rock concerts at real rock venues in front of real rock audiences.

Continuum, a challenging, fast-paced performance choir, is comprised of young men ages 13 to 18 in high school with changed voices. This group is by audition and is limited to 16 voices. Continuum members read music well and often sing in four to eight parts. Many of these young men have been singing with the Pacific Boychoir Academy for five to 10 years, though some come from other choir backgrounds as well. Members of the Changed Voices choir are former Troubador or Trouvere members whose voices have changed. They typically are between the ages of 13 and 18.
