"Every parent wants their kid to find their passion, and have the opportunity to work and grow towards their dream. Tuck's Rock Dojo gives this opportunity to many kids who might not find their place in school , athletic programs and rural community by bringing kids together, setting them up with a band and mentoring them through their own style of music."
Gail Trede, Eli's mom from South Reyagate, VT
- Eli was taking lessons and performance classes with Tuck for 7 years. He mastered the guitar and pushed his band, The Iridescent as a manager while at the Dojo so far that they took second place in the Battle of the Bands, at the Palladlium in Worchester.
Eli is now a proud student of the Berklee College of Music in Boston and studying to be a recording engenieer -

BAND PROGRAM
When playing your instrument is just not enough anymore.
​
Tuck's Rock Dojo is creating bands by connecting like minded musicians, providing them a practice place (once a week for 2 hours). At the Dojo you learn how to play the songs you like and how to work as a team with mentorship. Throughout the school year the bands will have opportunities to showcase their sets.
​
These opportunities give each band member a chance to play for real audience and perfect their stage performance skills. Building their confidence in a field that they love and are encouraged to do better at.

​
BAND TUITION: $300 for instrumentalists. For singers it's $210.
