I like that the lessons are structured around a goal. Over the last few years, I’ve learned and played in a variety of genres, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass. Every cycle, there’s an opportunity to add new styles, techniques, licks, song structures, chord voicings and more to my abilities. Plus, the chance to play with other musicians and learn from each other and the show directors is pretty cool. Hard work, but steady progress and a great time.
so much fun !
my 7 year old boy was whining and wanted to leave the school at the first visit but the school knew how to draw the kid and kept it interesting. after an hour of trial lesson, I now have a drum set in my house.

I am so glad I decided to check out the SOR for my daughter. It has been a great experience for her. She really enjoyed her singing lessons with Sophie. Mike &. Sophie helped prepare her for the band show. She always looked forward to going to band practice and had a fun time. Her favorite part was performing at the show. I would recommend going to the SOR.
School of Rock has been an amazing experience for my son. In the past year I have not only seen his skill as a guitar player and musician sky rocket, but also his confidence, as well. Having a show to look forward to gives my son motivation to practice, an opportunity to bond socially with band members and work together as a team, and a genuine sense of accomplishment and pride following the performance. Before school of rock, my son enjoyed playing guitar and was taking lessons but did not know how to apply that skill within the context of a band, with other musicians. Giving him the opportunity to participate in School of Rock has been well worth it.
Great pace for young and old to learn music and play in a rock band!
My son a year ago had never held a drumstick. This past Sunday he was on stage performing with other SoR kids in front of 150 people at a venue that reminded me of college days 😉 It was unbelievable.
His progress over the last 12 months has been obvious and demonstrated.
Brandon, Matt, The Mikes, Grace and Blake are incredible teachers and mentors.

Great set of instructors that keep you engaged and excited to continue learning. Learn the songs you love not the songs from some book that nobody really wants to learn. Staff is very nice too. Can’t go wrong

Enrolling our daughter in School of Rock Ridgefield was the best thing we could have done for her musically. From day one her instructors have helped her get better and better. I highly recommend SOR Ridgefield to anyone who wants their child(ren) to learn in a supportive and challenging environment.
We like the freedom that the kids have, to try new instruments . We love that they really can experience what preparing a concert means. Is way more than a classic music school, the lessons are way more than regular music lessons……is the full package of experiences and emotions that play in a music band can give, and kids love it!
One million stars. Place is fantastic.

Another parent highly recommended the School of Rock for my musical 15-year-old. We have only been at the School of Rock West Hartford for 1 season, and it has been an amazing experience – we are looking forward to the concert for each band to showcase all their hard work and talent! My son is not a die-hard sports kid (although he has been on several teams at school); he really loves music, plays piano and sax.
Being in a band takes the band members to a new level in their musical development/performance…it provides experience working in a “team” environment, offers opportunities for introverted kids to step outside their comfort zone with peers who possess similar interests and form new friendships, and helps band members gain confidence and self-esteem.
The School of Rock West Hartford is conveniently located a few minutes off I-84 next to Blue Back Square and has free parking at the facility.
Upon entering School of Rock, you can hear the band practicing, the energy of the staff is very positive, and the band members sound like they are having a great time together in the student waiting room. My son loves the passion and encouragement of all his instructors, who make the private lesson as well as the band practice a fun, engaging, educational and enriching experience every time. The band members encourage each other also. Through the instructors own musical training as well as the School of Rock performance methodology, they quickly learn their band member/students’ strengths and areas for opportunity and make them feel like they are an important part of the band. I love how the instructors make each band member feel like a real rock star.
I highly recommend the School of Rock experience!
There is something for everyone. All of the staff is so encouraging and supportive. It’s a setting for any student at any level to thrive and learn and make friends and connections that will carry on forever.
Amazing team of teachers and owners! They have a unique approach – learn music as a group to understand working together as a group – or a band (with eventual option for private lesson add ons). He always comes out of class happy and feeling supported by the teachers. My son had to pivot because of attention issues. Rather than chastise him and set him up for failure, the staff at School of Rock approached it with positivity and kindness. He is now in private lessons and enjoying it. Thank you School of Rock!
School of rock, Rocks!!!!
