Workshops at Slate Roof Studio

At Slate Roof Studio, we teach people how to be part of, create with,
and play in a rock 'n' roll band. Professional instructors keep members
on-beat, on-key, and inspired. Participants learn how to listen to
and play with each other much more effectively and joyously.
Students often return to their regular music classes with renewed
interest and vigor. Our instructors encourage all participants
to study a wide range of musical possiblities.

The instructors control our state-of-the-art mixing decks, and manage
all instruments and vocals. The mixed and balanced music
is returned through newly-developed headphones that dramatically
cut ambient "live room" sounds. This gives the musicians a
controlled sound, and allows each musician
to easily hear themselves and each other in the mix.

The studio also has the capability to record sessions. We produce an
end-of-workshop CD for participants to take home and share
with friends and family.

Teen Rock Workshops
The Teen Rock Workshop is an after-school program for kids ages 10 to 18,
who are familiar with their instruments. The workshops are 2 hours each,
once a week for eight weeks. There are are short breaks scheduled
into all our workshops, to play, relax, etc.
(See the Studio page for outdoor amenities).

We have sheet music to hundreds of appropriate, popular
songs by almost every conceivable Western rock band or performer,
so participants can choose their own music as a group
(to see a partial list, go to or Sounds page).
If a participant is unable to bring his/her own instrument, we have
instruments in-house to borrow, such as a Nord Electro keyboard,
a G&L L2000 bass guitar, a Pearl drum kit, a Strat-style guitar,
shakers, tambourines, and more.
We may be able to provide transportation after school.
Please contact us for more info.

Adult Rock Workshops
The Adult Rock Workshop runs for 2-1/2 hours, once a week for eight weeks.
Our instructor is the incredibly talented Ric Wilson. His guitar and vocal talents
have earned him three gold albums for recordings with folks
such as Huey Lewis & The News, Tracy Chapman, David Crosby
and Pete Escovedo, to name a few. His patient, humorous teaching
technique works extremelywell, producing excellent results, and happy participants.
