I have been learning electric guitar here for 2 years best session of my people here are so nice and helpful
How much fun is this! A terrific path towards learning an instrument…. proving the School of Rock is for all ages (I’m 56)…… my son, 10, inspired me…
Total blast.
My son (12) plays drums, and my daughter (14) plays guitar. We’ve been going to SoR Natick since late February and they are having a great time.
It is expensive, especially with two kids going at the same time, but if you count the 2.5 hours a week of rehearsal time + the .75 hours a week of instruction time it comes out to about $23/hour ($325 a month divided by ~14 hours/month). Granted they are not playing for the full 2.5 hours of rehearsal time, it’s still a good value if you consider music store lessons are $25-$35 for a *half* hour.
The performance program also encourages the kids to practice more often then when they were taking individual lessons. If you value working as a team as a valuable life skill, but your child is not a team sports kind of kid (or maybe you’re not a team sports kind of parent…) SoR is a great program for them to learn work as a team while building a skill they’ll have for life.

My son loves the format, can’t recommend this method enough, he’s very engaged and enthusiastic about going to lessons! The owner Mark and his employees are very nice and accommodating to my son and I. We highly recommend School of Rock Burlington!
Our kids had a blast at School of Rock camp with Mark, Celine, and Hannah. I cannot recommend this method and team enough! our kids had no real music experience and came out of the camp excited to learn more and hone their new skills as music lovers. Thank you!
School of Rock

Kids love it. The camp director Debbie is amazing.
Premier chamber music camp in the northeast. Free concerts open to the public every Saturday of July and the first Saturday of August.
Best summer music camp ever, a couple of pros: the house and cabin are beautiful, orchestra is fun, in chamber you are slaying all day, also at lunch ask your private teacher what time your private lesson is at because then you wont be ooOOOOOed at. cons: hutch and mcgregor smell InTeResTinG (when the boys are all gone they are fine), and Schaffhausen is haunted between the hours of 10-11, there is no greenwood.

I absolutely loved our experience here. My 7 year old, who had no previous experience, learned how to play 2 complete songs on piano & drums in just ONE WEEK! I highly recommend trying out a camp. The teachers are awesome and since they teach songs that the students want to learn, they make it fun. It’s a place to learn how to be a musician in a rock band (versus doing scales / learning classical music and fighting about it with your child).
I love the concept of immersing the kids into a song and a practicing group/band from the get-go! Especially for kids who have attention issues or get bored easily! Learning by doing is so fantastic… it gets the kids engaged from the start and makes them excited to go each week. Thank you! 🙂
Update Sept 2023: The Norwood School of Rock fell apart in Spring 2023 due to actions of the owners. Big staff and leadership turnover. They are currently trying to get back on their feet. I ended up leaving due to the culture shock.
Original review: I am learning drums and am part of the adult rock band group at School of Rock Norwood. Combining the lesson with the group is a great way to stay motivated. The group is chill and accepting of all of its members. The staff are zany, super smart, and talented. They get you playing, giving just enough theory and exercises to get you good enough to play, mixed with lots of playing real songs from day 1. Thanks for making my day, School of Rock Norwood!
Bach to Rock
Address: 200 Linden St A, Wellesley, MA 02482 , Alwernia , Massachusetts , United States
My daughter loves rock music and it is fun to see her following her passion. Being in a band has given her an opportunity to learn about the importance of commitment; how to work as a group; and that each person’s contribution is valuable. She has gained more confidence in herself. She has recently started taking private lessons at Bach 2 Rock with her Rock Band teacher. The one on one time is helping her grow in her instrument.
Kid friendly classes in all instruments with many time choices
Powers Music School
Address: 160 Lexington St, Belmont, MA 02478 , Alwernia , Massachusetts , United States
Great school: well run, offering a wide range of music classes, and with excellent teachers
Enjoying Music Pups, songs are addictive
We get to know this wonderful school by attending their storytelling concert at library. I’m impressed by the professional performance, so I register my kid for the Music pups class. Both of us love this class a lot. The teacher Jennifer is awesome. She’s very passionate and knows how to engage everyone in the class. Both of my kid and I enjoyed sing and dance with her in the class. It helped us build a good memory that will last a long time. And I also learned some music that I could sing to my child in the future. I highly recommend this class to anyone that have babies / toddlers.
I have taken all 4 of my children to Music Pups at Powers over the years. We love it! The older kids still sing the songs.
I bought a whole session piano class for my niece and then the course was not sufficient so her mom decided to drop but they did not allow for a refund. When she called them to postpone remaining classes for next season they said its okay but asked for extra money from her. Very disappointed. Money is gone without my niece taking any valuable classes!
They are not helpful they waste my money didn’t helped me for that i paid whole summer tuition but we couldn’t get more than 2 classes because of their misunderstanding and they did nothing for that !!!!!!!!
