The Black Rose Acoustic Society

For over 30 years, The Black Rose Acoustic Society has been the home of live, handmade acoustic music in the Pikes Peak Region. We host twice-monthly concerts, jams, and classes through the year. Nestled in the tall Colorado pines, the down-home atmosphere of our log-cabin concert hall provides a family-oriented setting unsurpassed in friendliness and congeniality.

  • Instructors: We are very selective about whom we hire to give you the highest quality of instruction possible. Click on the INSTRUCTORS tab above read about each of our instructors.

  • Class Size: In general, class size will be from 3-10 students, depending on the instructor and room size. The Meeker first-floor main classroom is limited to 10 students. The upstairs Meeker room can handle many more, but we are limiting the size to 14 students. If fewer than 3 students register for a class and it’s canceled, you will be notified and receive a full refund.

  • Waiting List: Our classes are very popular, and they oftentimes fill up. We limit size to give you the most value for your money. If a class you want is sold out, you can get on our waiting list. We’ll contact you if space opens up, or if there is enough interest to teach a second class at a different time, which often happens.
