School of Rock050

Are your kids ready to rock? Then it might be time to give School of Rock a call.

The school focuses on teaching kids ages eight to 18 how to play instruments - guitar, bass, keyboard, voice, and drums - and ultimately, how to perform in a rock band. All levels of ability and experience are welcome in the afterschool classes, and kids can enroll any time. The franchise uses a specific curriculum devised by the parent company to teach music theory while also teaching kids how to play with other students.

Individual 45-minute lessons combine with supervised three-hour group rehearsals each week to prepare kids for quarterly performances in "real" rock venues. The showcase rock concerts incorporate light shows and stagecraft, just like the real thing. Additional specialized workshops covering topics such as songwriting and touring are offered throughout the year, including a full-day week-long program during Spring Break.

Summer camps: School of Rock offers several summer camp programs for advanced beginners and up, to help students hone performance and songwriting skills, and learn other industry-related tasks - including tracking a recording an original collaborative piece in the school's studio!
