My boys have grown and thrived at School of Rock. What began as an additional activity for our younger son to explore his interest in percussion as become a mainstay with both of our sons. We are on our combined 7th showcase heading into our eighth.One music director in particular, Tyler Bernhardt, has had such an impact on our oldest son that he composed his essay application as a camp counselor based on Tyler’s character and his impact on him as a youth advisor. There were no fewer than 20 individuals in a leadership role that he could have used as an example but he chose Tyler. The impact of positive role models on young people imperative. School of Rock in New Canaan is an exceptional place to engage your child in music.
New Canaan is pretty baron for shy kids who don’t love sports and this is the perfect, creative outlet which provides camaraderie. I’ve watched my son grow hugely in confidence because of School of Rock. Big shout out to Tyler who was there from the start and showed encouragement and support every step of the way. Also, Brian who is now honing his keyboard skills so he gets to play with his Dad’s band. Not forgetting Todd who is always welcoming – incredibly inspiring staff. Best thing we ever did.
My son has been here almost every season for the last 6 years. He doesn’t have any aspirations for a career in music, but he always has fun so we keep coming back for more. As a parent, it’s great fun to see my child and other children enjoy the “classics”. He really likes his instructor. Overall, it has proven to be a good value for the price. My only complaint is that I wish there was a Darien location. It’s a bit far for us to go 2x a week.
There’s a lot of kids in these programs… some work harder than others and it’s clear they have their favorites. If you’re not one of them, it will just be an average experience, so don’t be fooled by the high ratings. Unless you really push for it, don’t expect much.

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

Great experience! My kid enjoys playing music with other kids from other towns. Made great friends! So fun to see and hear them perform!! Rock On kiddos!!
My 4 yo daughter started at School of Rock East Hartford this summer and has absolutely loved it. From the very first day she’s come out of her Little Wingz class excited and ready to show us what she learned. The instructors are kind and professional and seem to bond well with the kids. Every kid comes out of class with smiles and ready to rock, which speaks to their experience. I appreciate that they provide a break down of the skills and activities they practiced that day and appreciate that the kids are safe while there. I highly recommend the school of rock, even as an adult I can admit the school itself is super cool to see and we look forward to enrolling her in future classes.
School of Rock may have just opened but my two kids can’t stop talking about coming back every week. Friendly staff and a great program using all of your typical “rock band” instruments. I think we have a drummer and pianist in the family.

West Hartford School of Rock is absolutely phenomenal! The confidence that they build is simply astounding. My son went from a kid who was too shy to raise his hand in class, to a kid who got up on stage in front of a 100+ crowd and not only played the guitar, but did vocals on a number of songs. The teachers make the lessons fun and build the kids up with confidence and a love of learning their instrument.
very based 10/10 would recommend the environment is very friendly and encouraging
School of Rock West Hartford has been an amazing experience for my 11 year old son. He is quite shy but has always loved music and playing guitar. The performance aspect of School of Rock has really allowed him to showcase his talent while also meeting other kids and working with his bandmates. He gained a ton of confidence. The staff is always super helpful and encouraging – highly recommended.
