• Ages: 12-18
• Cost: Pay what you can

Phase 1 of the building project is coming along swimmingly. Definitely much more expensive and logistically challenging than we ever imagined. We should have occupancy on our permanent home first week of March. We will then pivot to fundraising to finish the stucco exterior, sidewalks, the studio, and the venue. Cautiously excited! Huge thanks to @zga_architects and @hccompany208 and all the super super rad supporters that have gotten out little nonprofit this far!

Our next session of Little Rockers starts up the week of February 15th! Spots are filling up quick, but we still have room on:

• Tuesdays from 9-10 am
• Thursdays from 3-4 pm

Little Rockers is a 6-week class developed to teach young musicians the fundamentals of music, such as rhythm, beat and melody and how to foster creativity in a high energy and fun environment. Students get hands-on experience with mini-guitars, keyboards and percussion instruments.

You can reserve your student’s spot online at www.boiserockschool.com/little-rockers/ 🤘🏼⚡️

Reminder that we will be holding classes at the old Foothills School located at 618 S. 8th St. in Downtown Boise for the next 6 weeks until our new building is move-in ready :)

Well, we’re officially out of our old space @ 1404 West Idaho. We are gonna this building so much! We empowered thousands of youth at this space over the last decade. So many rad memories! For the next 6 weeks we will be temporarily holding classes at the old Foothills School at 618 S 8th St. and then, beginning the week of March 7th, we will be at our new building at 5022 West Fairview! A few speed bumps before we land at our forever home— but we are very close! :-)

Happy ! (giving link in bio)

Over the course of our 13 year history, we have worked with over 10,000+ young artists and musicians. We have brought music education all over the valley, from St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital to Stanley Idaho School, and Ada County Detention Center to Ikastola Basque Preschool.

When the pandemic hit, we were faced with so many hurdles. We had immediate financial shortcomings, a much reduced enrollment, and a mountain to climb in regards to how to deliver our brand of arts education online. But you know what? We persevered. We were able to bridge the gap financially with the generous support of our community.

We’re about halfway through the build out of Boise Rock School and Juno Arts’s future home. We’re trying to create a nonprofit owned, all ages cultural hub that will be around for generations to come. Your donation of any amount will help us continue to empower youth through music!

(giving link in bio) -
In 2019 we set the goal of acquiring our own building. The growth of the Treasure Valley made it clear that we needed to have a permanent location. In December 2020 we purchased a suitable (7000 sf) building with funds we had raised - one that would allow us to grow our impact for the future. We knew when we purchased the building that it needed serious renovations. Little did we know that 2021 would be a hyper-expensive year for construction (not to mention supply chain delays and other challenges). To make the project logistically easier we broke it into three phases: 1) a classroom space with over 12 rooms, 2) a professional recording studio and 3) a small venue (100 person capacity). We are almost there with phase 1! If you can support our capital campaign during Giving Tuesday you will be helping to empower the next generation of creative artists in our rad nonprofit owned space! Our new building will be accompanied by our adoption of the parent name Juno Arts (aka Boise Rock School will become a program of Juno Arts). Under Juno Arts we are expanding our offerings to include all aspects of digital media arts. We’ve worked directly with well over 10,000 young artists since we started in 2008. Youth matters! We are dedicated to an innovative and creative future!
