Local Experts. Incredible Interviews

Forget the Flute. Let’s Jam Garage-Band Style!

With all this fancy new equipment that can “play” any instrument, where is the good old garage band vibe? Back when music had to be learned, practiced, collaborated on? Don’t worry. It hasn’t gone away — it’s just tucked behind a coffee shop in the neighborhood of Del Ray in Alexandria, VA. When you think music lessons, what do you think of? A set curriculum (boring!)? Traditional exercises to build basic skills? The same practice songs your Mom learned back in the day? Think again. Learning to play music (and teach music) is a tad bit more Rock n’ Roll with John Patrick of ROAM: Rock of Ages Music. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, students get to choose what they want to play. And kids are actually learning to play real instruments. Who woulda thought? There aren’t just private lessons though. Through the Rock School program, students create their own bands — like the times music was made in your mom’s basement.
