I’ve required that my daughter play an instrument since she was 4–with much resistance and moaning by her. But since starting at SoR, my daughter now loves guitar and calls herself a musician! She even practices without being asked!!
We have enjoyed both the SoR Madison’s youth and adult programs. The musical instruction is top quality and the instructors are as fun as they are knowledgeable. But what makes SoR Madison really special is the community they have fostered for the kids. My son is so excited to go there for his lessons and band rehearsal as much for the joy and fun of playing music as for the friendships he enjoys there. We hope to be part of the SoR Madison community for many years to come.
School of Rock Madison has been a fantastic experience for my son. He’s had great drum instruction as a beginner and now is starting full band practices too! Great communication, flexible approaches, and just a good atmosphere. Highly recommended!
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

We signed my 3.5 year old up for the Little Wings program and its been a huge hit! He was a little apprehensive for the first class but the teacher and owner are so friendly that he was quickly put at ease and started rocking out in short order. Parents wait in the waiting room but are able to hear the music and you can tell how much fun they are having as they play everything from Raffi to Old Town Road. The format of the classes is a good mix teaching my son to appreciate music and work as part of a larger group as they collaborate in their band.
As for the facilities they are brand new and very conveniently located in West Hartford center with parking readily available. Just park and a short walk up to the second floor. You can tell everyone that works there is passionate about music.
Highly encouraged for anyone looking to expose their kids to music and make them feel like a rock star.
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!
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.
