As a smaller school in the City of Casey, we had not had a Music specialist for a couple of years since our long time teacher moved on from teaching. Parents and students were missing the opportunity to engage in this space.
We contacted iROCK who were fantastic to deal with.

Highly recommend!
I recommend to anyone looking to learn an instrument no matter what skill level.
