We decided to pursue School of Rock education for our 11 year old and I’m beyond excited that we took that leap. Growing up, we never had opportunities like this in my family, so when I asked my son what kind of extracurricular activity he’d value most (if any), he quickly replied guitar. So, we found this school and I couldn’t be any happier. We value art, community, and real world experiences, all of which are met here. The staff is awesome and my son recently got to play his first live concert. My younger sons and my oldest boys (student) friends loved watching their big brother on stage. Worth every moment and penny spent. Absolutely recommend. For those worried about financial situation, ask them about solutions or programs. We don’t earn a lot, but we get by, so I didn’t pursue anything and knew the value was worth the cost. I just also know they may have some scholarships and solutions. Rock on!
I was very hesitant to sign my son up for classes as a teen with no experience. He was too old for the 101 class. Luckily I’m a little stubborn so I asked if there was another way to get started and they happily let him join in an older group, even thought he wasn’t experienced. I love how the school calibrated his parts so that Gavin could participate at his own level. Gavin is also very introverted so I was worried about that. He declared that he would never perform. Lo and behold, he loves his one on one lessons with Octavio! And he has performed 3 times already in his first 6 months. Two shows and one preview. No one in the family can believe it! The progress that he has made on the keyboards to me is nothing short of amazing. He’s having a blast. He Practices on his own without needing to be pushed because he’s excited about the music he’s learning. The teachers really inspire him. He looks up to them a lot. In return they are always kind, but they also know how to push the kids to be their very best. It’s been a transformational experience and I know will continue to be for many years.
Awesome place to learn music. The good vibe its in the air. The best teachers and facilities. The front desk and the people who works there are the best and very helpful. Worth to visit and sign up!
Everyone here is welcoming and incredibly helpful. My son loves his lessons with his instructor Ron! Our family has nothing but rave reviews for School of Rock.
