HEADQUARTERS*Rock House, the leader in music instruction on DVD, has teamed with Peavey Electronics Corporation to produce a DVD designed to give beginner musicians an edge toward learning their instruments.

The instruction is presented in both English and Spanish includes a video chord chart, a special section on how to assemble the Peavey International Series II drum set, a section showcasing Peavey guitars and much more.
"We custom-designed the instructional portion of the DVD to help Peavey customers start playing quickly," said John McCarthy, President of Rock House. "The faster we have them playing, the more likely they are to continue their musical education. That's good for aspiring musicians, Peavey and Rock House."
The DVD will also give Peavey customers free membership to Rock House's lesson support site at www.rockhousemethod.com. This feature, exclusive to Rock House and its partners, offers students supplementary support for the lessons featured on the DVD. Once registered at the support site, students can interact with the community, utilize the additional learning tools and access special features such as forums where they can chat with other students or ask the instructor questions; download a metronome or backing tracks to play along with; and find loads of other content to create a fun learning experience.
