May 1st marks the 1 year anniversary of me, our former music director buying the school that I loved working at! One of the main focuses I wanted to improve on was the overall culture of the school. The corporate mission statement is something I have really taken to heart: "We are a growing, passionate community dedicated to enriching lives through performance-based music education." We recently did a video compilation asking people to tell us their favorite thing about School of Rock, and while I loved all the answers, the one that kept coming up the most was the community we have, the friends, the people. Just so many people seem to like being here that I couldn't be happier. Our goal is to create a place that isn't just learning music, because there are a lot of those options out there. What separates us is that feeling of community. You are a rockstar here, pure and simple. As we begin our 2nd year of my ownership, our goal is to continue to grow, to increase the awareness of what we offer! We want to be a central part of our community here in Rockland County. Here at Rockland we let our mission drive the ship. I sincerely thank each and every parent who has taken the time and money to send their child to us for music. I thank all the the kids who have made this place special, finding long lasting friendships, confidence, artistry, creativity and making this a fun place to be! Here's to another year at Rockland!
