Reviews

School of Rock is A Way Of Life.

My son's been going there for guitar for seven years. My youngest son is also a student, taking bass lessons. Not only has School of Rock made our son a phenomenal guitar player but we have made many family friends for life from the school.

It's my kid's second home!

I think they would live there if they could. The people who work there are AMAZING! The instructors are really caring and passionate about the kids, the school and the music.

I was shy before School of Rock.

Thanks to School of Rock I am now a singer and I can play almost anything on the guitar! I love the feeling I get when I walk into the door just feeling welcome and like family. The teachers are amazing and everyone there is so nice!

Wish I'd Had School of Rock as a Kid!

As a grown up mom, wife, working, fully scheduled woman, it's something I didn't get the opportunity to do when I was young. At 40-something I'm a music student finally thanks to School of Rock.
