Rockness Music of Maplewood

"My grandson and I participated in Mr. Michael's summer music class in Maplewood and we loved it! Mr. Michael knows each child's name and makes everyone feel welcome; he's friendly, entertaining, talented, and energetic; and he's great with children of all ages. It's a fun way to nurture a child's love of music!"

"I’m writing this 5 star review through the lens of a mom of (almost) 1 year old twins, a Kindie musician, and a licensed K-12 music educator, with over 20 years of experience teaching. Rockness Music is such a wonderful program, and you should absolutely sign your kids up. Mr. Michael brings such fun to each and every one of his classes. He’s engaging, treats the kids with love and respect at every moment, and brings educational content that the kids really love. They learn about new instruments, move their bodies with a weekly dance party, and get to use their imaginations throughout. He also can pivot at a moment’s notice to reflect the interest of the kids; one of the students was excited about a plane flying overhead today in class, and Mr. Michael improvised a song about airplanes right on the spot, including actions for the kids to do and everything. You can tell how passionate he is about what he does. If you’re thinking about signing your kids up, do it. They will have the best time, and they will grow up loving music."

"We just love Mr. Michael and his team and Rockness music! This class made my little one really come out of her shell. She gets to socialize with other kids, explore new instruments and sounds, dance, laugh and have fun. She looks forward to Rockness Music Class every week (and so do I!). The team is warm, welcoming and wonderful."

"This class is a joy every week! Mr. Michael is an incredible teacher, meeting every child where they are and incorporating whatever they do into the lesson. I've seen students make big jumps in how they participate and respond to the music from week to week."

"Rockness Music is by far the best music class for kids around. We have tried a few and nothing compares to RM. My son asks for it on the days we don't go. It is the highlight of our week. The instructors (especially Mr. Michael who is also the owner) have endless energy and put their hearts into every single class to make it the best experience for these kiddos. A+++++"
