The Rock And Pop Music Academy Of Boulder

We love RPMA! Our son started off learning to play guitar taking lessons at the lesson studio and decided he wanted to try playing with other people in a band. RPMA is a great experience for students just learning to play with others or for more advanced players as well. He even did an RPMA camp last summer where his band learned many songs and performed a concert at end. He has become not just a better guitar player but a better performer who loves to play! It has been incredible to watch him grow.

Rock and Pop Music Academy has been an amazing support for the musicians in our family. We started off with drum lessons for our son and that quickly led into joining a performance band. He has transitioned to bass guitar lessons and is still playing in a performance band at Rock and Pop Academy. He's had the opportunity to play fun venues around town including Oskar Blues, Bohemian Biergarten, and Fox Theater. The individual lessons and group lessons for the band have helped him grow so much as a musician. He can't wait to go to a lesson or practice and is inspired to practice at home all the time. My son was having so much fun that we signed my daughter up for piano lessons and I signed up for voice lessons. From the lessons to the summer camps, it's been a wonderful experience all around.

Our 9 yo son has participated in RPMA's program for the last two years in multiple bands and we have been consistently impressed. In addition to performance (which can be at Boulder's Fox Theatre!), the program instructors teach long-term music, social and leadership skills - all important pieces to becoming a lifelong musician (and decent human). RPMA's connection with the Lesson Studio has helped our son receive comprehensive music instruction, and his band teachers provide solid guidance to him and his peers, resulting in a coherent, high quality, supportive atmosphere. RPMA does a great job of grouping like-skilled musicians together, but also ensures more experienced players have an opportunity to teach less experienced players (and understand that responsibility). Gary's Gutierrez, RPMA's director, works hard to make playing in a band accessible, fun and challenging, and is 100% committed to ensuring the kids long-term interest in music.

This preschool is awesome! I brought my 2 year old here from an in home daycare. My husband and I are so happy that we made the change! The director Mrs Greene is great. She communicates well. It appears the staff works together as a team and are very professional. My daughter is always happy and excited at drop off and pick up. Highly recommended?

By far the best decision I have ever made was enrolling my daughter into Leaps and Bounds. She started July 2020 and within the last couple of months we have been able to see a big difference. She talks clearly and makes out full sentences/conversations, she can count and identify her numbers as well as shapes and colors! The staff is amazing. Welcoming, communicative and really hands on with kids. Honestly, amazing school! I have highly recommended it to friends.

The moment I got to know about Maestro Goslin’s concert, I was all set to attend it and treat myself with a magical experience. I grew up listening to his radio and television appearances and seeing him in person was a lifetime opportunity. His fingers play piano in such a magical way. Looking forward to listen to him again.
