Joe Hart Why is this weird looking guy qualified to run a music school? Why not? He owns a bunch of underused gear, has a big garage that's doing nothing but slowly filling up with junk, and he has no real job to get in the way of scheduling. Also, he has been involved in music for almost 30 years, has been teaching music for almost 20 years, and even (somehow) managed to get a college degree in music -- he's done it all except get famous or make any money. But seriously, if you want to learn more about this character, check out his site on our LINKS page. |
Hugh Crossland This gentleman is the brains behind the operation. He has about 9 college degrees, a million great ideas, and the patience of Job. He has played guitar for more years than he can count, and this school has been a dream of his since the late 1800's (when he was but a precocious 30-something). His passion for rock and roll music can be felt in every aspect of The School of Hard Rocks. What more can be said but he is an amazing (and ancient) human being. If you want to know any more about Hugh, just ask him -- he'll talk your ear off! |

Part of our registration process involves a questionnaire that enables us to schedule guest speakers geared towards what you want to get out of The Music School of Hard Rocks.
