TESTIMONIALS
“Jon has proven to be an excellent teacher, really promoting a collaborative and challenging environment that promotes growth musically. The regular live performances have been a highlight on our calendar and perfectly showcases the progress the kids are making in the studio. Highly recommended. “
“This after school program gives kids the opportunity to be in rock bands and perform in small bars/ clubs in Brooklyn. My 11 year-old has been in her band for the past 2 years and it is amazing to watch them grow as musicians and as a team. .”
“Rock Bands for Kids is a great program for any kid who wants to learn how to play in a group, which requires collaboration and patience and a willingness to try new things and new music. Jon's an incredible teacher and leader who seems to really enjoy what he does--which rubs off on the kids, who seem to be having a blast. ”
“Thank you, as always for being such a terrific influence and inspiration for the boys! A almost gave up the guitar and then found a new interest once he started playing with you and the boys!”
“W is making huge leaps and bounds, thanks to you! She really enjoys the band rehearsals and that you push her while also following her moods (vocals, acoustic, etc) which keeps it entertaining for her. We appreciate that you continue to give her the opportunity to perform at your awesome shows. “
“R is really LOVING band rehearsal. She says it is her favorite day of the week. Thanks so much for inspiring her!”
“P absolutely loves your program and being in the band. You’re the perfect teacher for him! In addition to being a talented composer, musician and singer, you’re a great teacher! He feels really comfortable with you and I think you are the perfect coach for him. All of this to say - he really loves working with you.”

“I love Rock Bands For Kids and all the young musicians who have the guts to get up there and play their hearts out. I can’t stop smiling.”
“My son has been working with RBFK for three years and gained not only guitar skills but more importantly the ability to hold himself with confidence in front of an audience, teamwork skills akin to sports but without the competitive edge, pride in seeing how hard work pays off, and a positive cross-generational social experience. Plus the performances are fun for the families!”
“The boys love you and band rehearsal so much that they wish they had rehearsal twice a week. Have a great summer! “
“You have changed H's life. Thank you so much for this year. As everyone else has said, it was the most meaningful part of the entire school year.”
