Gowanus Music Club is a Brooklyn based rock school that offers group and private instruction, welcoming students of all levels and musical tastes from ages 8 on up through adults. We are currently offering private online one-on-one lessons and are very excited to be hosting group rock band classes in 2024. For over 17 years we've been honored to inspire kids and adults to find their musical paths and thousands of kids have participated in our programs. Our staff is comprised of dedicated and patient industry veterans from various walks of life, continents, and musical backgrounds. We love to help students develop the skills to listen, jam, write, collaborate, and of course learn their favorite songs. Our students regularly perform at DROM NYC and The Bitter End, two of the best venues in all of New York City. Students also have the opportunity to learn recording techniques at DUMBO studio, Brooklyn Pearl. Please check out all the new curriculum and lesson packages at our school of rock in Brooklyn!

“I loved the feeling of being in a real band and putting in so much effort to prepare for the final show. I remember struggling to perfect the intro to Sweet Child of Mine, But remembering that my bandmates and instructors were there to support me. Being in a band at such a young age awarded me strong leadership and collaborative skills that I am thankful for today.”
— Jasper, GMC alum. lead guitarist and songwriter for Quarters of Change

 

Gowanus Music Club instructors know firsthand what an early commitment to music can bring to a young person’s life. We know because when we were young we were lucky enough to have great musical mentors. GMC staff have spent their lives performing and touring for both major and indie labels, recording in state-of-the-art studios, and possess a wealth of first hand experience to share with students. The private lessons, rehearsals, recording sessions and shows that GMC students take place in those same professional studios and landmark NYC venues.  Collectively, we bring the joy of music to our students and the life lessons of being in a band! We are simply one of the best contemporary music schools in Brooklyn.
