John and Tina Menoudakis, owners of RockStar Music School & Concert Hall, set a goal for themselves a long time ago. After building this very unique music school in 2006, they became obsessed with bringing in one of their main musical inspirations - Steve Vai.

They went as far as promising themselves that they would never have a Steve Vai song performed on their concert hall stage, until Steve had performed at RockStar himself.

That all changed on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009.

We were honoured to have Steve Vai present his Alien Guitar Secrets Master Class at RockStar Music School & Concert Hall and we can just about sum up the whole experience in one word . . . WOW!!!

The attendees came in from all over North America to get a chance to hear Steve share his most personal ideas and thoughts about music and life in general. This was not just a musical theory class or some guy trying to show us how to shred on the electric guitar. It was more about the attitude and approach we need to have in order to accomplish our goals, both musically and in life.

He had mentioned the most important thing to have is a deep desire and love for what it is you want to do, but at the same time, make sure you are realistic about it. Ever since he picked up the guitar at 13 years of age, he set out to become one of the most unique guitar players around and he worked very hard at it - after all, this is the man who is famous for the '10 Hour Guitar Workout'.

We would like to thank all the people who attended this historic event - those who travelled great distances, some of our very own RockStar students, our staff, family and friends who helped out.

RockStar is currently working on bringing some other big names in the music industry to the concert hall in the near future and we will let you know as soon as we have more details.

For now, we would like to thank Steve from the very bottom of our musical hearts for being part of the inspiration behind this school and making our dreams come true.

Thirteen of our very talented RockStar students played a 3 hour show at the Budweiser Midway Stage. It was non-stop rockin' entertainment from 3-6pm including over 30 cover songs and 3 original compositions.

We would like to take this time to thank all the students and parents who made it through 2-3 hours of traffic to make it to the biggest gig this school has ever played. Including the seated area, along with standing room and all the passers-by, the crowd was easily into the thousands.

It is very satisfying to know that the time and work we are putting into band practices is paying off, and many others are starting to notice. Stay tuned for much more to come from these amazing kids.

Come in anytime Monday to Friday between the hours of 3pm and 9pm or on Saturdays from 9am to 5pm and get signed up for lessons with one of the most truly unique music schools anywhere in the world.

We offer private lessons in drums, guitar, vocals, keyboards and bass. We also provide free band practice sessions to get ready for our student concerts in our very own Concert Hall.

In case you cannot get in to see us during these times, you can call us at any time and book your spot over the phone. Registrations will continue throughout the season. Our full session runs from Sept 2009 to June 2010.

Benny and Patty are busy raising three opinionated teenagers. Between music, sports, and friends life in this home has become very hectic. As the kids grow, Patty and Benny have noticed their space in the home shrink. Can Hina restore order in the home while Dylan creates a space for these teens to call their own?

RockStar Music School & Concert Hall has officially had it's first television debut!!!

We were delighted to have CITY TV's Breakfast Television crew visit us on Tuesday, March 31st for the first ever MORNING student rock concert. Everyone who attended had a blast and especially Jennifer who simply could not resist the opportunity to rock out with some of the RockStar student members of The Twelve. Both the camera crew and Jennifer were shocked at just how good these kids are getting and we look forward to showing off our talents much more in the near future.

We would like to thank everyone who attended this amazing event and a very special thank you to Jennifer Valentyne and the Breakfast Television crew!

This past June we were treated to the Sam Savoia's last RockStar student concert.

It was a very emotional night for everyone and we enjoyed two more incredible performances from one of our very best students.

Sam is moving on to study jazz at Humber College and we wish her the very best in the future. She has always told us that her wish is to become a performing musician and with a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, we hope all her dreams come true!

One concert in May and two more in June brought us to the conclusion of our 3rd season at RockStar.

We have now put on nineteen student concerts in our concert hall and performed almost 300 songs! As usual the bar keeps getting higher and higher at this school, and we are simply amazed at how good these kids can be when they put some effort into their music.

We look forward to 20th Anniversary concert this coming December and we plan to make it something really special - stay tuned for more updates.

There will be two more songwriting camps coming this summer along with other camps catering to younger children, so please feel free to inquire about our summer camp schedule for 2009.

Many of our newest students took part in the 16th RockStar student concert on Saturday, March 7th, 2009.

We were treated to yet another amazing concert with many participants taking their very first shot at a live stage performance in front of family and friends. The concert hall has been upgraded with new lighting effects and stage truss and it was great to see our new equipment in action.

Thank you to everyone who attended and a special thanks to those who have been showing their appreciation for what we do here at RockStar with thank you cards and great compliments after their concert experiences. It's such a great feeling to know that people truly believe in what you are doing. THANKS!!!

We finally made it through our second season at RockStar and what a way to finish! Our students and staff once again showed everyone why this school is so different from everyone else.

Our concert hall was jammed for 2 weekends, displaying a wide variety of amazing music and entertainment from over 200 students. More than two months of band practices helped get everyone prepared for 4 shows that once again brought our already impressive RockStar standards to a new level.

RockStar Music School would like to thank everyone involved including staff, teachers, parents, guests and especially our students!

Our latest two concerts, which took place on Friday, February 29th and Saturday, March 1st, 2008, marked our 9th and 10th student concerts at the RockStar Concert Hall and the students did an outstanding job.

We can't believe we have gone through ten of these concerts in just a year and a half, but the proof is in the pudding as they say. Our students put on 2 spectacular concerts and it truly shows how hard work and lots of practice pays off in the end.

Once again we would like to thank everyone who came and a special thank you to the students, teachers and staff for putting on our best shows yet.

Our talented students once again put on great performances on Friday, December 14th and Saturday, December 15th as we closed the year of 2007. We have now put on 8 amazing concerts with 6 more scheduled in the coming months.

All the students benefited from our 4 weeks of free band practices and the crowd was treated to songs from Led Zeppelin to Linkin Park to Iron Maiden to Joe Satriani, including originals.

A very big thank you to Dino, Kelly, Robert and Paul for the amazing experience and a special thank you to all of the people who came to watch the show.

Our concert hall is a truly an amazing place to enjoy live music for the whole family so give us a call any time at 905-951-3000 to find out about our upcoming shows!

The students performed a ten song set including songs from Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, and two original songs written during our March Break Rock Camp. We will be performing at many more events in the future so to all the students . . . keep it up, because you never know where it might get you - ROCK ON!

We all had a blast and look forward to doing many more RockStar workshops in the coming months. Special thanks to our instructors Rocco and Catherine for helping out.

We would like to thank all the students and teachers who participated and we look forward to many, many more. Parents, relatives and friends were treated to 2 spectacular shows which took place in our very own concert hall.

Our set list included all sorts of songs from the classic 60's and 70's all the way to today's popular music. We hope that all students were inspired by the event and look forward to seeing them grow with us as we take on new challenges in the coming months.
