How fast will the student learn how to play their instrument?

Great question! The speed at which someone learns an instrument can vary widely depending on several factors. Everyone learns differently, so we take into account each student’s learning style, natural pace, and prior experience. One of the biggest factors is how much time they spend practicing at home—consistent practice can make a big difference. Our goal is to make learning fun and engaging, so students stay motivated and see steady progress.

Can I sit in on my child's lesson?

At School of Rock, we do not allow parents to sit in on lessons. Much like in a traditional school setting, students thrive when given the space to develop independence. All of our staff members are thoroughly background-checked to ensure a safe environment, and we limit access to instructional areas to maintain that safety and minimize distractions. Having parents present can also diminish the “cool factor” that makes the experience special for kids. Most importantly, when parents are in the room, it’s natural for them to want to speak or answer for their child — but part of our program’s goal is to help students build confidence and learn to express themselves on their own.

What is the difference between our Performance Program and traditional lessons?

At School of Rock, we were the first to combine private lessons with a performance-based program because we’ve found that students progress much faster and stay more engaged when they’re working toward a live show. Taking lessons alone is like practicing foul shots in your backyard without ever playing in a real basketball game—it’s the performance that brings everything together. Being part of a band teaches students how to listen, collaborate, and apply what they’re learning in a real-world setting, which builds confidence, accountability, and true musicianship.

Why do we need ear protection?

We require ear protection at School of Rock to keep our students safe and protect their long-term hearing health. Playing in a band or practicing in a rehearsal room can get loud—just like at a concert—so using ear protection helps prevent hearing damage. It’s part of teaching our students not just how to play music, but how to be responsible musicians who take care of themselves and their instruments.

 

Why do vocalists need their own microphone?

We require singers to have their own microphone for both health and performance reasons. Sharing microphones can spread germs and bacteria, so having a personal mic helps keep everyone healthy. It also allows singers to get comfortable with their own equipment, which improves confidence, technique, and consistency—just like a guitarist gets used to their own guitar.
