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.
School of Rock

Excellent place for you musicians. My son loves going … he looks forward to his time there. The staff is great and supportive.
The instructors are experienced professional musicians who also have a love of teaching. They are so invested in the development of their students as is evident by their passion and enthusiasm. It’s clear that they love their jobs. It has become my son’s home away from home. He spends several hours per week there and would spend more if he could! It’s worth the 40 min drive each way. The school has top of line rehearsal rooms and equipment. The program is designed for beginners, intermediate or seasoned musicians. There is a challenge at every level and your child will acquire the skills to be able to take advantage of the many seasonal performance programs and even audition for their resident house band when they are ready. In summary, top notch instructors, environment and program! Can’t recommend it enough.
My Son looks forward to his lessons every single week! He has been very motivated to play his guitar with a mission to constantly improve himself. This has had tremendous impact in giving him a positive self esteem. I’m truly glad he has joined SOR and they certainly have my continued support.
Unfair and whilst going I never felt very welcomed
Greenwood Music Camp
Address: 32 Harlow Rd, Cummington, MA 01026 , Bęczarka , Massachusetts , United States
Never been a place like this. Best camp evah! You know who I am and I WILL DESTROY YOU at ping-pong
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.
It’s a very nice place. Teenagers reject the social construct of footwear and play classical music in tiny wooden cabins. Occasionally we play games where people pretend to be dead or where we have to cut a grown man’s beard with impressively dull scissors at around 9:30 PM. The only punishment basically ever given is taking the trash out at night. It’s a great place unless you forget to wash your dishes immediately after you use them…
this place took nico from me
School of Rock Burlington
Address: 6 Wayside Rd Suite 6S, Burlington, MA 01803 , Bęczarka , Massachusetts , United States
My daughter takes voice, drums, keys, and performance group at SOR. She has also done camps and a song writing workshop, and I can’t say enough about how amazing all of the teachers are. Having lessons combined with performance group is exactly what she needed to push herself musically, and it’s what sets this school apart from others because these are not just music lessons, it’s truly a music education. The environment is also extremely welcoming and it’s great to see so many different types of kids being themselves and working together in the safe space SOR has created for music lovers.
super fun place to learn, good teachers and being in a band motivates you to practice!
School of Rock has become a huge part of my son’s life. He loves that he’s found others that share his passion for music. In addition to participating in lessons, performance group and house band, he and some of his SOR friends have formed their own band.
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 , Bęczarka , 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.
My daughter loved this place from the first time. She wanted also do summer camp there. Teachers are very knowledgeable and caring. Front desk helpful and amazing. Totally recommend it
Great instructors!
Powers Music School
Address: 160 Lexington St, Belmont, MA 02478 , Bęczarka , Massachusetts , United States
We love the music pops (for infants and toddlers). The teacher is very nice and good at motivating parents and children to sing and dance together. We love the songs. Listening to the songs and singing them in the car with our daughter in the car everyday is such a great fun! We have attended two sessions. Highly recommend this class for parents with infants and/or children aged up to 4!
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.
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 !!!!!!!!
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!
I Hate it so much
Zach Field Drums and Music
Address: Trades Mill, 6 Chestnut St Suite 119, Amesbury, MA 01913 , Bęczarka , Massachusetts , United States
Without question the best place to learn an instrument.
My 7 year old daughter takes drum lessons here and absolutely loves it! They do so well with children. She requested to learn toxicity by system of a down. She’s still learning a lot of the basics since she goes once a week and hasn’t been going that long, but she keeps coming home all excited that she’s learned some more of toxicity! I highly recommend them.
We recently hosted our first conference in Amesbury and rented Zach Fields’ Drums and Music “The Space” as one of our workshop locations.
If you don’t know Zach Field and his team yet, you really should. Not only are they an outstanding bunch of people who are dedicated to bringing music and the arts to this community, but they are also so helpful in ensuring your event (from birthday parties to music performances to business workshops) runs smoothly and successfully.
I cannot speak highly enough about our experience at The Space. We were so grateful that we were able to host here and I’d highly recommend Zach Field Drums and Music to everyone.

My 5 year old daughter has been going to ZFMD for a few years now. We could not be happier about our experience there. She takes private lessons with Mitch who I could not even explain to you how amazing he is with her. I would highly recommend anyone of all ages looking for any kind of instrument lessons to look into ZFMD. You will be happy you did. ✌ ❤️
