What we do
We place musicians young and old into full-fledged rock bands based on their age and skill level. Our bands consist of 6-8 students per group which can include 3-4 guitarists, 1-2 drummers, 1 bassist, 1-3 vocalists & 1 keyboardist. Bands meet once per week for a 2-hour rehearsal at a dedicated time slot and are led by our team of highly qualified, multi-instrumentalist instructors.
Who we are
Academy of Rock Music (AoRM) is a locally owned music performance program with locations in Newport News & Virginia Beach, VA. Established in 2007, we are proud to be Hampton Roads original rock school. Over the past 13 years, directors Ron Lowder, Vasili Simmons, Nick Weber and Maria Fischer have taught countless AoRM students to perform well over 750 songs ranging from classic rock to metal, from funk to reggae.
Why we do it
AoRM is proud to be producing Hampton Roads next wave of great young bands and solo artists. Several students who have come through our doors have continued on to prestigious music colleges such as Berklee College of Music, Shenandoah Conservatory and Middle Tennessee State University to name a few. AoRM has also spawned several local original bands such as Evan Button, Wild Truth, ALNTN and several more.
