We were thrilled when we heard that there was going to be a music school near our house in NE Portland, but we had no idea how much we would enjoy the Rookie Rock classes. My two year old adores her teacher (yea for Tyleena!) and sings the songs at home that she learns at class. I especially like the choice of songs because while they mix in the ol' stand-bys (ABC's & Twinkle, Twinkle), they also incorporate songs we adults enjoy by the Beatles and Bob Marley and others. The best part for me as a mom of 2 is that the school is so inviting...more like a house than a school so I am comfortable taking my infant along to class with us. The owners are very available and accommodating and even offered class times that fit my schedule better once I suggested it. My husband even started taking private guitar lessons and he can't get enough!
Pros: great song choices, inviting atmosphere, easy parking
