Rockhouse (also marketed internationally as Rock House) is a prominent music education and instructional publishing brand dedicated to providing learning materials for musicians.

Over the subsequent decades, the curriculum expanded significantly from its initial focus on guitar to encompass numerous other instruments and musical disciplines.
