The School of Rock (SOR) Annapolis is an outstanding addition to the arts in the in the arts-rich Annapolis area. It is hard to believe how fast children develope and/or improve their talent(s) regardless of age. I have witnessed this incredible musical talent development in my own grandson, who is registered at the SOR Annapolis, as well on many, many other children there, in Baltimore and other parts of the country. I and my family love the School of Rock Annapolis. I have many videos on YouTube of my grandson and many SOR Annapolis students displaying their talents in the Annapolis area and elsewhere at different outdoor and indoor venues The joy the families feel watching the development of their children’s in music is unforgettable and a great occassion for a for a few, or a lot of joyful tears. All the instructors at the school are professional musicians.

This is the third year my boys have come to School of Rock Annapolis Advanced Camp. We come from West Virginia just to go to School of Rock (this is the closest one to us). Even though we are only part of School of Rock for one week out of the year the boys love their School of Rock family. The instructors are always awesome and are great at encouraging them. Year after year they get to play with the same kids and they have that summer camp camaraderie that is just so special. School of Rock Summer Camp really challenges the boys musically and with logistics of putting a band together and working together to get a concert out in 5 days. We love School of Rock.
I’m so glad that School of Rock opened near home. Taking drum lessons there has been fun and an invaluable learning experience. My drum instructor, Ryan Sadler, is brilliant!
Hayley the Keys instructor was great. We did our free trial with her and my 9 year old daughter had a great experience. So we signed up for the program.
At 9 she was placed in Rock 101. The kids were mostly younger than her, and it usually felt like glorified babysitting vs becoming a better musician.
Huge communication disconnect re:homework/expectations between the private lesson, Rock 101 and the School of Rock app causing tears that could be avoided and much frustration for parents!
We also tried one of the summer camps, signed up both kids. The fees included “Recording: campers will record their songs with camp directors so that they can share with family and friends!”.
This was not so! I emailed to follow up to receive this keepsake of their song writing, and the school did not have a file to share.

Friendly and knowledgeable employees & instructions.
The students are treated with the understanding that they are musicians. They gain confidence in their skills and are able to transfer that confidence to other areas of their lives. They have a place that they can be themselves. The staff are so respectful and really enjoy their jobs. The kids can feel that. My son often says he wished that his middle school was more like School of Rock.
My son has improved greatly since joining a few months ago. Adam is a fantastic teacher who motivates and inspires! The staff are warm, friendly, and super accommodating. We love School of Rock! Can’t wait to see our son on stage in a few months for his first performance!
The other night while I was making dinner, my son was in one room going through my ipod and playing as many Beatles songs as he could while my daughter was in another room learning Rolling Stones songs on her guitar. My son had participated in the the School of Rock Summer Beatles camp and is still so amazed by the experience, wanting to go back next summer. My daughter, a ‘veteran’ School of Rocker having participated for at least three years now, is gearing up for her new Fall Rolling Stones Program. School of Rock has given her a place where she has been able to become a confident individual. It is a comfort zone for her. Not to mention that she has become a pretty good guitarist and has the stage presence of Keith Richards!
Not great considering how much it costs.
Enrolled my 4 year old in their class. No ability to watch the class. Not even from a camera to video screen.
Sorry, but if you want my money, you need to provide some method of oversight.
Disappointing.
