With a 30 year career that includes performing with some major artists, and a teaching background that includes over 25 years of experience coaching individuals and classes both here and abroad, an Honors degree in classical guitar, a California State teaching credential, Rockenbach Music Studio specializes in guitar and electric bass lessons (keyboard for music theory). The one-on-one instruction includes sight-reading, ear-training, solo transcriptions, improvisation, song writing, and theory. All styles and levels are covered. Beginners and veterans alike. These are very patient lessons.

I'm the head coach here, my name is Jock Rockenbach.. I play various guitars and other instruments as well as sing, compose, and record, and . . . you probably get the picture. If you're not sure, just click around and it will become pretty clear.

I see about 50 students a week at my studio in the Glenview District of Oakland. In addition to the private lessons, we also hold workshops.

I am very proud of the students here, both past and present. A web site serves as a great way to advertise a service, but it's also a wonderful vehicle for applauding the progress of the hard working music students.

So look around, and if you have any questions please email me.
