School of Rock

The School of Rock has been a fantastic experience for my son. Learning and playing songs with other band members, in a controlled setting, has been a great way to better himself as a musician. On top of the practices and rehearsals, the live shows were exceptionally fun for the kids. Great program, wish I was young enough to join.

My 6.5 year old daughter really enjoys the Rookies program. Evan is a kind and patient instructor but still has the fortitude to keep the class focused and on task. Kids are offered an opportunity to try various instruments which my daughter loves because they "aren't allowed to use the big instruments at school" for another two years. It's been a great introduction to music and we've been extremely pleased with the school and their program.

My son has been having lessons at school of rock for around four months and he loves absolutely everything about them! His teacher, Matt, is wonderful and very knowledgeable. Each lesson is more like a jam session of my son‘s favorite songs rather than anything too structured and yet he is still learning so much every week. He recently joined one of the performance groups as well which is a wonderful way to learn and develop all the skills a musician needs. School of rock teaches music in the way it should be taught; by keeping it fun and using the creativity of the students to develop their natural talents. It is a very inclusive community and every single member of staff has been so friendly and helpful. 10/10.

My daughter leaves her lessons smiling. No matter how her day went or how her week went for that matter, she comes out smiling. The feeling of accomplishment is completely evident in that smile and in her eyes. That tells me all I need to know. This is a very worthwhile investment we’re making in her future. The songwriting group amazes me because it’s something she’s wanted to do for years but didn’t know where to start. But they’ve made progress. I heard the recording. She’s moving her vocals from a classical/opera style to rock style. And learning guitar to boot. She’s involved. She loves her instructors. Absolutely. Worth. It.

My daughter has been playing the guitar for a few years and has loved it, but wasn't really progressing. In just a few short weeks, under Quinn's incredible guidance, I can already see and hear the difference. The Performance Program has finally has the "energy" and "push" she was lacking. My son also started playing the drums and is having an amazing experience with Jordan. He can't wait to begin the Performance Program! We all love the School of Rock and are so glad it's close to home in Castle Shannon!
