WELCOME!!!




ROCK STAR GUITAR ACADEMY is an independent music enrichment program offering group guitar and rock band instruction, online video lessons and private instruction for beginning and intermediate students. Combining music education with entertainment, students learn chords, riffs, strumming, scales, solos and a host of songs to get them started on a lifetime journey of musical discovery and expression.

Our music program uses a color-coded curriculum written and developed by singer-songwriter, mikO Tolliver. In an effort to expose students to all music possibilities, students learn to play songs from various music genres and cultural backgrounds. The ROCK STAR GUITAR ACADEMY music program strives to promote diversity through learning and creative expression.

After-school enrichment courses are offered at various Bay Area school locations for students grades 2 - 5; advanced 1st grade students are accepted upon instructors approval. There are three sessions per school year with live recitals and recorded video performances at the end of each session. Enrollment in class includes guitar rental for students to take home. Other equipment such as amps and chords are provided for in class practice and rehearsals. Each session concludes with a class recital or video recording of songs learned during the session. All instructors are TB tested and fingerprinted.
