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 lessons and are very excited to be hosting more group rock band classes in 2025! For over 18 years we have built a strong community of young musicians and thousands of NYC kids have participated in our programs. GMC's staff are dedicated and patient industry veterans from various walks of life and musical backgrounds. We love to help students develop the skills to listen, jam, write, and of course learn their favorite songs. Please check out all the new curriculum and lesson packages at our school of rock in Brooklyn. 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 Harris, Guitarist of Quarters of Change

Kind Words

Thanks very much for a fun week of camp, and a great show today! Our son, Jonathan, really enjoyed working with his fellow band mates, and coach, John. He had the amazing opportunity to learn more music, make new friends, and perform at a cool venue right in our neighborhood.
