Unleash your inner rockstar.

Singing popular music is about celebrating the centuries-old tradition of viscerally expressing the human condition through song.

Rock U investigates how to honor this rich tapestry by combining the past and present with your own personal flavor to create music that is uniquely you.

You won't find any wizardry or fancy tricks here. Classes are chock full of actionable, repeatable skills that build on the musical theatre training you already have.
