School of Rock has been transformative for my shy kid. They’ve grown so much as a drummer, made great friends, and learned how to be part of a band. The instructors and band mentors are excellent. Can’t recommend this school enough.
I love the instructors, the atmosphere and the attention to detail of where the students are at and where they aim to be! After having reviewed many music programs and school in New York City, this location and the teachers and administrators here are invested and eager to not only build their bands but to support the participants as well as participant families.
My son was the youngest, and least experienced musician, in the group. I was worried he’d get left behind or hold back the group. But SoR’s approach had him right in the mix with the experienced musicians. He learned six songs in one week! The performance at the end of the week was the highlight of my summer. We can’t wait to come back.
School of Rock and this NYC team in particular, under the music directorship and lovely charisma of Bob Jones, is truly a fantastic, well managed and fun institution. The students arrive full of enthusiasm to learn and play, and they leave excited to practice and share what they have learned. This school teaches more than just music. It teaches emotional development, confidence, self-esteem and team work. I am thrilled that my child attends this school and I couldn't recommend highly enough or praise it sufficiently either.
As an guy who last played music in high school, I was looking around in New York for evening classes to pick up on my (somewhat rusty) piano, (almost nonexistent) guitar, and (totally untrained) singing skills. Where better to combine these than at the School of Rock? I signed up to some 'summer jam' sessions and immediately signed up again with the adult program - individual lessons and supervised band rehearsals.Friendly and fun, the teachers and staff are always accommodating and contribute to a happy, relaxed atmosphere. Performance nerves ebb away as our band improves in rehearsals. At our live performance we rock out at the legendary 'Bitter End'!
