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.
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.
I have been learning electric guitar here for 2 years best session of my people here are so nice and helpful

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!

They have been amazing. Always a positive experience when we are there. My daughter is learning so much, so quickly. She has fun all while learning. During Covid they make sure masks, distancing and hygenine guidelines are followed. Definitely worth every penny
My daughter’s been taking drum lessons at SoR for a little over a year, and the school and teachers really keep her engaged and interested. The Rock 101 program is pretty amazing, as well — what better way to learn than by doing??!! She had so much fun at her first performance and can’t wait until the next one. She’s also looking forward to SoR camp this summer.
And big shoutout to Cassie, who’s been (and continues to be) so helpful and understanding of our needs during our time here.
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).
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!
Greenwood Music Camp

Never been a place like this. Best camp evah! You know who I am and I WILL DESTROY YOU at ping-pong
It’s truly a very Greenwood. We play music and also music and there’s music. Don’t go if you don’t like music because this camp is very music. If you play violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, or horn, then you should Greenwood because Greenwood is Greenwood. Don’t come expecting to see green wood, because you will not find any. However there is music and also real life among us on the last week. I met people at Greenwood. They are all very.
an isolated place where everyone walks barefoot and plays instruments in tiny practice cabins and then they play games that involve things like pretending to kill a fellow camper and then trying to figure out who did it or trying to find hidden treasure while young adults bang on the walls in the middle of the night
this place took nico from me

Powers Music School

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.
Enjoying Music Pups, songs are addictive
My 5 year old boy signed up the high five piano class this fall semester and he really loves the class. The teacher is very friendly and patient, and the class is a good intro of music and piano to kids. In addition, School offers study materials and no need to purchase textbook yourself. Great starting point for children’s music life!
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 Hate it so much
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!

Both of our children are enrolled in programs at BMS. They do an excellent job. Every instructor we have come across is well organized, patient, and truly love what they are doing. Just a great organization all around.

Berklee College of Music

Graduated from Berklee in 1995. AMAZING college and wonderful teacher. The continuing education courses, online courses, and support material keep the learning process going and they stay in touch with you.
Berklee is the best music college in the world!
My friend Martin used to go here and he’s a horrible human being so how good can it be, really? Four stars out of five seems reasonable.
听说王力宏在这毕业
