Established in 2008, Rock Scholars is an independent teaching and learning community for young musicians that want to play rock, pop, punk and other contemporary music styles.

Our band program was created to provide young people the opportunity to play and learn about contemporary music in an environment that would support, stimulate and encourage them.

At Rock Scholars we use mentoring rather than teaching, giving our young musicians the space to create and innovate with their music. We operate out of our own premises in Osborne Park which features three fully equipped and sound-proofed band rooms and dedicated teaching facilities. We use only professional, performance-quality instruments and equipment in our program. In our band rooms you will find Vox amplifiers, Pearl drumkits and Shure microphones.

We also have our own performance venue on-site featuring an elevated stage, a full PA with on-stage monitors, and a professional lighting set-up. Everything we do at Rock Scholars is designed to create an authentic music industry experience for our students.

Our mentors and tutors are hand-picked from Perth's vibrant music scene. We currently have 19 of WA’s finest musicians and singer-songwriters on our teaching staff, many whom are former Rock Scholars students.

We currently have 27 developing bands in our program and a further 220+ students learning their craft with music lessons at Rock Scholars.

Rock Scholars provides an amazing platform for young people to launch their musical careers and we are proud to name members of Sly Withers, Supathick, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Spacey Jane, Methyl Ethel, Pot Plant House Party, Figurehead, Love Junkies, The Hunting Birds to name a few amongst our former students and mentors.

Yours in rock
