“I can’t recommend George Pendergast and Rockshop Academy enough! George is such an encouraging teacher with a wealth of knowledge from being in the music industry from a young age. He is incredibly supportive of his students and creates a safe atmosphere for kids to be creative musically. He also encourages his students to form bands and work together which has taught them to be supportive of other musicians and be a team player. Rockshop made a huge difference in my son’s life musically at a young age and George has become a supportive mentor to my son as well. ”

“I walked into my first drum lesson at thirty years old not knowing what a high hat was and 8 years later I have been in 3 different bands, recorded an album and got to open up for my favorite bands and musicians! George has taught and guided me through it all. I don’t believe I would have accomplished so much without him. He has been an amazing drum teacher. It’s humbling learning an instrument as an adult but he has always been so awesome and nice! He is super knowledgeable in all genres of music and has guided me through recording and playing my first gig. Learning to play the drums has set me on an amazing path in life and brought me so much joy – I can’t wait to continue learning and growing my skills with George in the future!”

“My 10 year old son has been taking drum lessons with George for a couple years. George is so good at getting him to push past the things he thinks he can’t do, and discover all he can. His confidence has grown so much.”
