“I'm not good enough”

Almost everyone who joins an ensemble said it first. And none of them were right.

An ensemble isn't an orchestra waiting for virtuosos. It's a room where four or five people at roughly the same level learn to play together, and that's a completely separate skill from playing alone. Listening, coming in on time, giving up a solo so the song works. You can't learn that alone in a room, at any level.

The real threshold is low: if you can play a full song on your instrument, you're ready. The rest is built in rehearsals.

What really happens in a lesson

No dry exercises and no memorizing. This is what an ensemble rehearsal with us looks like, from the moment you walk into the room.

Start of the year

Putting the ensemble together

We place by level, age and style, not by who came first. An ensemble that works is one where everyone progresses at the same pace.

The first rehearsal

Choosing repertoire together

We don't dictate. The ensemble chooses songs everyone connects with, and we adapt the arrangement to the level: sometimes simplifying, sometimes challenging.

Every week

Rehearsal with a coach

An hour and a half in a room with full gear and a coach who sits with you. You work on transitions, on dynamics, on who leads when. This is the part that turns a collection of players into a band.

Mid-year

Recording

A rehearsal recording or a single in the studio. Nothing accelerates a band like hearing itself recorded, and it's also what stays.

End of the year

The show

A real stage, sound, lighting and an audience. The moment the whole year was built towards, and the thing students remember years later.

Who it's for

The same teacher, three completely different conversations. The lesson is built around whoever is sitting across from us.

Teens 13–18

Instead of another after-school activity

An ensemble isn't an activity, it's belonging. A regular crew, a shared goal and a stage at the end. Many of the friendships formed in our ensembles continue long after school.

Adults

The band you didn't have at 17

One of our most popular groups. People with jobs and families who come once a week to play rock, and discover it's the best thing in their week.

Families and private ensembles

A closed ensemble of your own

You can start an ensemble with friends or family: we provide the room, the gear, a coach and repertoire. Just tell us who, and we'll build around you.

Who teaches here

Musicians from the industry who chose to teach: music academy graduates, players who perform and record, with experience teaching kids, teens and adults. Not students topping up their income.

Music academy graduatesWorking musicians in the industryTeaching kids, teens and adults

Academy graduates. Formal training in performance, theory and music education. They know how to explain why, not just show how.

From the stage and the studio. Working musicians who perform and record, bringing what's happening in the industry right now into the rehearsal: repertoire, sound and working with a band.

Experienced with every age. Kids in a first ensemble, teens with a band of their own and adults coming back to play get three completely different rehearsals. Adapting is part of the craft.

With you all the way to the stage. The same teacher who teaches you in the room goes up with you to the concert. And if the chemistry isn't working, we switch teachers, no drama.

The stage is part of the learning

At Rockstar you learn in order to perform. Concerts, recordings and ensembles. Every student gets on stage, at their own pace.

An annual concert in a hall, with lighting, sound and a real audience
Studio recordings, so you can really hear the progress
Ensemble performances in front of a real audience

One concert a year. A real stage.

Not an end-of-year party in a classroom. A hall, lighting, sound and an audience: the moment when everything built in the lessons becomes something your child will remember for years.

Everything you wanted to ask before the first lesson

What level do I need to join?

If you can play a full song on your instrument, you're ready. Really. The skill of playing together is built in rehearsals, not before.

How long is a rehearsal?

An hour and a half a week, in a room with full gear and a coach. All year round, with breaks on holidays.

What if I don't have a band?

That's most people. We place you in an ensemble by level, age and style. Most people arrive alone and leave with a crew.

Which instruments does an ensemble need?

Guitar, bass, drums, keys and a lead singer are the foundation. Bassists and drummers are always in short supply, and if that's your instrument, you have a guaranteed spot.

Is there a show at the end?

Yes, an annual concert on a real stage with sound and lighting. It's not an end-of-year party in a classroom. It's a show.

Where do the lessons take place?

At the school's centers in north Tel Aviv,
and at students' homes in selected areas

Rockstar's main center sits in the heart of Ramat Aviv Gimel, at 85 Meir Feinstein St., a short distance from Ramat Aviv, Neve Avivim and the rest of north Tel Aviv's neighborhoods.

At the school

Fully equipped teaching rooms, a studio and teachers who are working musicians. You walk into the rehearsal room and start playing together.

Sun–Thu, 14:00–21:00 · Visits by appointment only

From the stage

This is what it sounds like when you play together

Eyal Harnoy in a live acoustic session in the studio, with a full band. The Heseg Association choir in an original arrangement of “Panim El Mul Panim”, coached by the school's teachers. And Rockstar's youth ensembles on the stage of Tmuna Theatre, in front of a real audience. This is what we aim for: not just lessons, but music-making that leaves the room and reaches the stage.
