About
San Francisco Rock Project

The San Francisco Rock Project is a nonprofit Music School for kids ages 7–18 with an emphasis on live performances for our camps and classes (though we do not require our year-round 1:1 lessons students to perform). 

All year round, students have one-on-one lessons on guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, or vocals, and/or participate in group rehearsals for final shows at a local venue at the end of each season. Our week-long summer camps are open to new and returning students and offer a comprehensive experience.

All skill levels are welcome, and our outstanding teachers foster expression, development, discipline, and fun. Previous rock camps have performed songs from Black Sabbath, the Beatles, Radiohead, the White Stripes, Led Zeppelin, the Runaways, Nirvana, the Ramones, Journey, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and much more!

Hello! Apologies for the confusion. It is 800 for the one week performance camp. Camp hours are 12-5 M-F + there is a liver performance of the songs we learn on the Friday, which starts at 6 and ends at approximately 7pm. We hope to see you! -
