Brandon Yeagley has come full circle. The frontman of hard rock outfit Crobot, a band with multiple Top 20 Billboard-charting singles and a Top 10 hit with “Low Life,” has co-founded Let There Be Rock School – Pottsville, a performance-based music education center now open at 2300 Mahantongo Street in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, the same region where Yeagley first picked up music and formed his earliest bands.
The school’s mission is direct and community-focused: to prove that students from Schuylkill County can build real, lasting careers in music without leaving home to do it. That’s not an abstract goal for Yeagley. It’s a lived one.
Let There Be Rock School – Pottsville runs on a performance-first curriculum that separates it from traditional lesson models. Students don’t just learn an instrument in isolation. They learn to collaborate in bands, rehearse with intention, and step onto a stage with confidence. Programs cover guitar, bass, drums, vocals, keyboards, songwriting, improvisation, and ensemble performance, available to children, teens, and adults through one-on-one lessons, band programs, or a combination of both.
Yeagley’s decades of international touring and charting records aren’t just credentials hanging on the wall. He’s shaped the curriculum himself, building practical, real-world pathways into the program rather than pure theory. After years on the road, the decision to reinvest in the community that shaped him was a deliberate one.
The school functions as a creative incubator at every level, from first lessons through advanced performance. Regular live showcases serve as key developmental milestones, and community partnerships keep the school tied to the local arts ecosystem it’s working to strengthen.
Enrollment is open now, with limited space available.
