Stage Dive
Here is where you can enter into the Stage Dive fundraiser for Bowling Green Amplify Foundation.
After years of individual involvement in Bowling Green’s music scene and total domination with their private lesson programs, Jordan Weiss and Matt DeVore joined under one roof. Then they decided to invite a few of their friends.
Educated and experienced as performing musicians, BGRBA teachers are uniquely qualified to bring out the best in your playing. Besides offering private lessons, we offer our Rock Band program, a semester series designed and dedicated to getting you on stage with a band.
We are committed to creating and maintaining the next generation of local musicians!
