Lifelong skills are born here.

The kids have a great time while learning to play. The staff shares their passion for music and are very professional and accommodating. Wish I had this exposure to music when I was growing up!

School of Rock has given my son confidence.

My son now has a passion for music and new friends through School of Rock. It has become his home away from home. Playing music with friends has been so much more motivating for my son than traditional piano and guitar lessons.

The staff really connect with the students.

School of Rock has taught my son about not only music, but confidence, self expression, teamwork and creativity in a fun manner that fits his learning style. The staff help them learn that the only limits are the ones we set for ourselves.

The shows have a great atmosphere!

In a short period, your teachers have been able to cultivate and expand my son's techniques on guitar and vocals. I like the real world, working musician atmosphere you create with the creation of shows.
