Reviews

The teachers care about her individually.

The School of Rock experience has been great for our daughter and whole family. There has been a noticeable improvement in her musical skill set, her performances and self-esteem.”

School of Rock fosters teamwork.

What I love about this place is that it fosters both individual and group learning. Kids can hone their skills while learning to play music TOGETHER. This is totally different than the environment I learned piano and guitar in.

We couldn't be happier we chose School of Rock.

My daughter has been taking guitar lessons for a year at the school. She has learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing it. The entire staff is enthusiastic, welcoming and very knowledgeable. It's been an absolute pleasure all around.

Now my kids are musicians!

My kids went in knowing virtually nothing about playing their instruments and performing live, except for playing in school band, which doesn't really count. They now perform like professionals, each play two instruments and one sings.

The staff have an infectious spark of joy for teaching!

The General Manager has done an amazing job mentoring my daughter while helping her improve her vocal abilities and confidence. The staff gives excellent, valuable feedback after every lesson which allows me to parrot her encouragement between lessons.

Our son is always excited for his drum lessons.

We often find him practicing on his own. He thoroughly enjoys working with Ben and he's actually learning to read music!

I love the staff.

The commitment and passion the instructors have for what they are doing with these kids is apparent. I’m also impressed with their overall patience in the performing sessions. Well done.

My daughter has been fully engaged in the program for six years!

Life would have been very different without it. I'm extremely grateful for all the musical nurturing she's received.
