Most recently, Brock partnered with Napanee’s Harmony Lounge & Music Club to provide private drum lessons, group percussion classes, and Rock Skool coaching services.

“Brock has an uncanny ability to build confidence in youth who may be experiencing shyness and social anxiety,” says Michelle Hauser, Harmony’s Creative Director. “Whether Brock is working with a young person picking up sticks for the first time, or encouraging older youth to spread their wings in the Rock Skool program, he has a unique capacity for connection. When he says, ‘Yeah, man!’ and ‘Way to go!’ the feedback is so genuine that the kids really feel his authenticity”
