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.
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.
Excellent program! Friendly staff! My daughter can’t wait to go to her class each 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

Another parent highly recommended the School of Rock for my musical 15-year-old. We have only been at the School of Rock West Hartford for 1 season, and it has been an amazing experience – we are looking forward to the concert for each band to showcase all their hard work and talent! My son is not a die-hard sports kid (although he has been on several teams at school); he really loves music, plays piano and sax.
Being in a band takes the band members to a new level in their musical development/performance…it provides experience working in a “team” environment, offers opportunities for introverted kids to step outside their comfort zone with peers who possess similar interests and form new friendships, and helps band members gain confidence and self-esteem.
The School of Rock West Hartford is conveniently located a few minutes off I-84 next to Blue Back Square and has free parking at the facility.
Upon entering School of Rock, you can hear the band practicing, the energy of the staff is very positive, and the band members sound like they are having a great time together in the student waiting room. My son loves the passion and encouragement of all his instructors, who make the private lesson as well as the band practice a fun, engaging, educational and enriching experience every time. The band members encourage each other also. Through the instructors own musical training as well as the School of Rock performance methodology, they quickly learn their band member/students’ strengths and areas for opportunity and make them feel like they are an important part of the band. I love how the instructors make each band member feel like a real rock star.
I highly recommend the School of Rock experience!
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.
100% recommend. This is way beyond just learning the chords or the notes – The instructors are so passionate about ensuring the students have a fun, enriching experience, that my son comes home excited, confident, and inspired from every lesson and band rehearsal. They take great pains to get to know the kids and their strengths and opportunities, you really feel like you’re part of the band.
School of rock, Rocks!!!!

I LIKE THE STAFF….I also like my teacher Talor Steinberg and his patient, good-natured, good-humored, and highly effective teaching method, both in terms of music theory and its practical applications on the guitar. It’s a pleasure to work with him.
I also have had a great experience with the adult band, which has been a game-changer for me and has permitted me to come closer to realizing an ambition I have harbored for years, playing serious music in a structured and challenging environment. A year ago I had never played an electric guitar before, and I now myself playing lead and rhythm in front of an audience, something I only dreamed about doing in the past. I would like to call attention to Tory and Vanessa Ridder who run the school with so much enthusiasm that it permeates the spirit of every student there. I would also like to thank the tireless Sean Nolan for his efforts to assist making the adult band all that it has been over the past year. The School of Rock in Mamaroneck N.Y. deserves a rating of eleven.
The teachers and the staff are amazing and work hard to ensure that our son has a great experience. They’ve been incredibly flexible and customer-focused.
Jordan is an awesome teacher and the whole vibe is great. I strongly believe in kids’ music education and not everyone has to do classical. Rock has a ton to offer!

Can’t say enough about how wonderful this Performing Arts School is! My daughter is going on her 4th season at NHAOPA in acting and music lessons. She keeps improving and growing by leaps and bounds! You feel like part of the NHAOPA family when you walk through that door. Wonderful Teachers! Wonderful Training! Wonderful Atmosphere!
Not only can Billy sing the lights out, but he and his team of musical gurus can teach you how to as well. Keep up the great work!
Very professional and very caring. My daughter has improved dramatically since starting here and absolutely loved everyone there. Best investment we ever made!
