Massive waste of time and money
Massive waste of time and money. Started off well. Then the teacher missed a few lessons consecutively. Followed by a concert in which they were expected to perform despite the lack of actual lessons... then Rocksteady cancelled the classes altogether. We were given a refund for the month already paid. But refused a refund for the missed lessons. Massive con. Don't waste your time or money.

Hi Lucy,
Thank you for your feedback. We know how much children look forward to their band lessons, and how important consistency is for their progress and enjoyment. We're so sorry this wasn't the experience we were able to provide.
There are times when pausing lessons at a school is the most appropriate course of action, as this allows us to resolve any issues and ensure a better experience going forward. Payments are frozen immediately when this happens, and we work closely with schools to resume lessons quickly. Unfortunately, this is not always possible – and we sincerely apologies lessons did not resume at your school.
Please be assured that concerts only ever go ahead if the children feel ready and confident to perform, and your band leader will always make that call based on what is right for the group.
To explain a little more about how payments work, our monthly subscription guarantees a minimum of 33 lessons per academic year, or the equivalent based on when your child started. Where that minimum hasn't been met, we will, of course, issue a credit or refund.
We'd really like to look into this further for you. Please don't hesitate to get in touch on 0330 113 0330 or at info@rocksteadymusicschool.com.
Many thanks,
Rocksteady Music School

Hi Pam,
It's wonderful that your son has gained so much confidence through his band lessons. Learning to play alongside bandmates in a fun and supportive environment is what Rocksteady is all about, so it's brilliant to hear that this has had such a positive impact on your son!
Many thanks,

Brilliant- highly recommend
My son absolutely loved his time doing rock steady. He performed and gained a certificate in less than a year. Unfortunately he had to change schools due to relocating, and his first words when we told him were “will I still get to do my drumming?” He loved his music teacher and couldn’t recommend it to other parents enough. It’s honestly brilliant for the kids!

My daughter originally started on the bass guitar, however singing was truly what she wanted to do but lacked confidence. I couldn’t persuade her but when I contacted Rock steady, with their help and encouragement, she eventually had the confidence for vocals. Paul her teacher is absolutely amazing!

Poor experience with billing not…
Update: Following the company response, it has now been clarified that the remaining £10 credit was intended to be applied against a future payment. However, as my subscription has since been cancelled, it remains unclear how this outstanding amount will be refunded.
Poor experience with billing not reflecting the service provided.
I was charged £44.68 on the 1st of the month for what is normally a package of 4 lessons. However, only 2 lessons were scheduled for that month, despite the full monthly fee still being taken.
This was during a period where the school had already confirmed they would be ending their arrangement with Rocksteady Music School at the end of the academic year, yet the level of service had already reduced.
There were also instances of last-minute cancellations, with assurances that lessons would be made up and reviewed at the end of term. However, from my experience, this did not result in a clear or timely resolution.
In addition, a £20 refund had previously been agreed, but only £10 was actually paid, leaving £10 still outstanding.
I raised these issues directly but did not receive a proper resolution and ultimately had to go through my bank under the Direct Debit Guarantee to recover the overpayment.
Based on my experience, the billing did not align with the service delivered, particularly during a period of reduced provision and cancellations. I would strongly recommend that other parents carefully check how many lessons are actually being provided compared to what they are being charge

Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your feedback and we do apologise that your Rocksteady experience hasn't been the positive one we aim to provide.
Your monthly direct debit spreads the total cost for the academic year evenly across 11 equal payments, with no payment taken in August. This is because the number of lessons available each month varies depending on school holidays and bank holidays, so the subscription evens this out rather than charging per lesson. Across the academic year, this guarantees a minimum of 33 lessons in total, including termly concerts.
We're also very sorry for any disruptions to your child's band lessons this term. Whenever a band leader is unable to teach, we will always look to arrange a cover teacher to minimise disruption to your child's lessons, but unfortunately this isn't always possible. To make up for this, a £20 credit has been issued to your account which has been allocated against your regular May and June direct debit payments - therefore you can expect the second £10 credit to come off your next payment.
We apologise again for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions, please do give us a call on 0330 113 0330 or email info@rocksteadymusicschool.com and we'd be happy to help.
Many thanks,
Rocksteady Music School

Rocksteady has been amazing for both of our children, they are both autistic, and will has been incredible for them,he's kind, considerate and understanding and teaching them at a pace they are both happy with.
They have grown in themselves, and in confidence with others aswell, and have made some fantastic friends in their bands.
Highly recommended if your children are quite and withdrawn from social interactions, this helps they to grow in so many ways.

I highly recommend RockSteady!
I have observed that my son has greatly benefited from learning the drums and being part of a rock group, which has notably enhanced his confidence. As he approaches his final concert this summer before transitioning to secondary school, I'm looking forward to enrolling my daughter as well, as she enjoyed her trial session. I highly recommend Rock Steady! A special thank you to Keys Meadow Primary School.

I can’t rate rocksteady enough
I can’t rate rocksteady enough. Communication is fast and friendly. No bombarding. Paulie’s teacher is amazing with him. I never in a million years would have expected Paulie to get up on his own in front of his whole school after like four sessions but the encouragement was gentle enough he did it and am a proud mum.
So thank you guys so much.

Great, positive introduction to Music.
My daughter has been attending Rocksteady for over a year and she loves it! It's really helped her confidence and she's in the same band as her friends so they all have fun together. Dan, the instructor is great with all the children and it's the only school club my daughter has wanted to attend for longer than a term. She's also recently achieved a Trinity College certificate which feels really special, especially at 5 years old.

I've been paying for my son to learn how to play the keyboard for a year now at nearly £50 per month. I got a keyboard out of the spare room last weekend and a music book to go with it. He looked horrified. He's never seen musical notes and asked what they were. Just what have this company been teaching my son for the past year?. It seems they pick a some and teach the children different parts of songs with different instruments and then put them together to do a performance.
There isn't any instrument learning at all. Don't waste your money. It honestly isn't worth it.

Hi Simon, thank you for your feedback and we're sorry to hear you haven't been happy with your son's progress in his band lessons.
Rocksteady teaches children to play music together as a band by focusing on fundamentals such as timing and synchronisation, alongside introducing instrument technique and performance skills. This approach teaches music as a language through listening and playing, rather than through traditional music theory or notation, which is what makes it accessible and engaging for all children - regardless of previous musical experience.
By learning alongside their bandmates, children not only build musical skills but also develop confidence, teamwork and social skills that go well beyond the instrument itself. Working through a unique curriculum of up to 300 instrumental, musicianship and performance skills, all Rocksteady children also have the opportunity to achieve an exam-free music qualification, accredited by Trinity College London.
If you'd like to chat through this further, please do give us a call on 0330 113 0330 or email info@rocksteadymusicschool.com and we'd be happy to help. You can also keep track of your child’s progress through your termly Rocksteady Roundups which is a visual summary of everything they have been learning in band lessons.
Many thanks,

unprofessional and not consistent experience
band leaders consistently fail to attend the classes leading to them having to be rescheduled and provided by cover teachers. they definitely don't progress as much as they could and then you have the leader saying they didn't have much opportunity to practice when they do their shows. Very unprofessional. nice for kids to have a first contact with the different instruments but don't expect more than that.

Hi Marcelo, thank you for your feedback and we do apologise for the disruptions to your child's band lessons this term.
We know how much children value and look forward to their Rocksteady lessons, and how important a consistent learning environment is for their musical progress. Whenever a band leader is unable to teach, we do everything we can to arrange cover to minimise disruption and ensure bands feel prepared and confident for their end of term concerts.
Our dedicated cover band leaders are extensively trained to pick up a class at short notice and deliver lessons in line with Rocksteady's unique curriculum, so children can continue to enjoy the high-quality band lessons they're used to - unfortunately it isn't always possible to arrange this cover and we're so sorry for any missed lessons this academic year.
A member of our customer service team will be in touch regarding your experience and your regular band leader should now be running lessons as normal for the remainder of the term.
In the meantime, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our customer service team by calling 0330 113 0330 or emailing info@rocksteadymusicschool.com of you'd like to chat through this further.
Many thanks,
