They are amazing at striking the right balance between rocking out and having fun. They are the glue that holds everything together, always patient and available. Our son loves this place.

What a change!

My daughter has taken music lessons with 34 different instructors. School of Rock is completely different. Not only has she become much more motivated in her music, but also in school.

The staff is like family.

Both of my kids are in the program and it has been amazing. The staff is like family to them... and us. Their music ability has taken off since joining and practicing is no longer a chore.

It's the best thing I've done for my kid.

It's not just learning how to play an instrument; it's total immersion into rock n' roll. Being a guitarist is now a part of who he is. It is a true mentorship, and the mentors are awesome.
