We have two children doing lessons at Academy of Rock Music taking drum and vocal lessons. We have been very happy with the quality of the lessons. Additionally, the teachers are professional and committed. Previously, we tried lessons at several other places and had difficulty getting teachers who were consistent. This has not been a problem at AofR. We definitely recommend this music school!

Our daughter has been part of Academy of Rock Music for over a year, and it has been an incredible experience. She started in vocals and is now learning drums, and we’ve seen so much growth in her confidence. The opportunity to play in a band with other kids her age has been especially meaningful. It’s one thing to take lessons, but to actually collaborate, rehearse, and perform together is a completely different level of learning! But what really sets this program apart are the real-world performance opportunities. She’s been able to perform for adult audiences in local venues, something most young teens don’t get to experience. The academy doesn’t just offer those opportunities; they make sure the kids are prepared and set up to succeed. We’re very grateful to have her part of AoRM!!

This a great place. Ron and Vasilli are awesome. I have a great time there. I have learned so much. Once my broken shoulder heals I will be there jamming.

Was very fortunate to find AoR. Had plenty of time on my hands to pursue a long time interest, and couldn’t have found a better place. Very welcoming, fun, and extremely talented people who were very patient as I settled in. I look forward to the practice sessions and gigs each week.
