Programs at the Center

TRU Rock Guitar 102!

Starting March 15th, join The Rock Underground Music School in a continuation of its inaugural Rock Guitar program at the Warwick Valley Community Center! Every Friday for 12 weeks, go on a journey through the realms of electric guitar with our acclaimed instructor, guitarist, film composer, and Berklee College of Music alumni Matthew Politoski. Through the 12 weeks, expect to learn how to take the basics of guitar technique, rhythm, improvisation, and music theory forward through an exploration of different styles and songs. The program will run from 4PM to 5PM each week and is ideal for Beginners and those just beyond the Beginner level looking to take their playing to the next level.

Don't have a guitar?! No problem! The first 6 students will be given a custom spray-painted rental electric guitar to take home to practice with for the duration of the program. Amplifiers will also be provided on site. Program tuition is $240 for the duration of the 12 weeks. There is a limit of 10 students for the course, so be sure to Call the Community Center today at 845-986-6422 and ask for Kerry to enroll! For any other content specific questions, call or e-mail The Rock Underground Music School at 845-595-1801 or at gwl@rockundergroundmusic.com "

  Toddler Jam   

We're thrilled to introduce a new program with The Warwick Valley Community Center: Toddler Jam run by The Rock Underground instructor Anne Clark! 

Join us on Saturdays from 10-11am for a 10-week program to develop an early appreciation for music and all the diversity of sound it can offer! Explore different types of instruments, ranging from percussive knick-knacks such as shakers, tambourines and hand drums to tonal instruments such as piano or recorder; learn how to clap different rhythmic patterns in unison; join together in sing-alongs of your favorite songs; and much more!

Toddler Jam is perfect for the child who is showing early interest in music and/or sound, but may be too young to start regular weekly private lessons. Our goal is ultimately to nurture each student's love for music, while helping them learn about all of it's parts! This program is for children ages 2-4 years old and their caregivers.

Program tuition is $165. There are limited spaces, so don't wait to enroll! Call The Warwick Valley Community Center at  845-986-6422 and ask for Kerry! And of course, email us at gwl@rockundergroundmusic.com or call us at 845-595-1801 if you have any program specific questions!  

   The Acting Out Playhouse began 14 summers ago when its founder, award-winning director and choreographer, Terry Odell, heard a call to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.  She started a program called CPR, Children Performing for Relief, to raise money for the families victimized by the horrible disaster.  They worked hard, produced and performed several concerts in Orange County, NY that raised over $2500 for students in New Orleans.  During the project, it became clear that the positive affect on the children involved here was immeasurable.  Life skills were built, empathy and teamwork taught, a sense of pride in accomplishment and purpose.  At that moment, Terry saw the importance of dedicating her professional life to the opening of an official theater group for children that would be built on those very principals, and The Acting Out Playhouse was born. The Playhouse is now an important learning and social community for over 150 Orange County children.  We have produced over 30 full-scale productions, performing them on small Black Box stages as well as on some of the largest venues in the area, such as the Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center. Money has been raised for local and national charities and performed for schools, senior centers and local fairs.
