School of Rock Fort Collins is a very special place. Donna is wonderful and all of the teachers are stellar, both as musicians and instructors. My 15 year-old has been playing guitar at SOR since last August and loves it. He has played in an 80’s music show and will be performing in the Metal show. My 4 year-old loves the Little Wings program-they learn about rhythm, instruments, and rock icons through games and songs. School of Rock has been a nice constant for my kids throughout the pandemic and we cannot wait to have the opportunity to see more shows at local venues.
We are so impressed with School of Rock. Our son has been taking drum lessons for a few months and we have watched his abilities grow already in this short time. The staff is great and the teachers are amazing. Their Rock 101 is extremely unique and allows the musician to practice not only in an individual setting but then with a whole band. We highly recommend School of Rock. We’re excited to watch our son’s talent continue to grow!
This awesome school has been such a lifesaver for our kids during this crazy, isolating time! They have had a place to go and express themselves–in a setting that is inviting, warm, and focused. They have also learned a ton over the past year! This business feels more like a little community to us, and we are super grateful for the Owner, Donna, and her crew. Donna is genuine and truly loves kids. It’s very obvious, and means the world to us. The instructors are fabulous too! We have had a blast and our kids (ages 10 and 6) have already gained valuable appreciation for music, skills, and friends. I love how they actually perform with a little band because applying practiced skills in front of an audience expedites the learning process. Our kids are rock and roll fools, and we love it! Thanks for being in FoCo, seriously, thank you.

We have been attending School of Rock for 4 1/2 years. I love the staff, the programs, and the exposure to new experiences that School of Rock provides my son. He “feels alive” when he is on stage…that is one of the few places where he is not shy. He enjoys playing with the band, but also loves his 1 on 1 time. Most of all, he also loves going to see his instructors in concert as he can better see what it sounds like when everything comes together.
This place made my daughter feel so welcome! What a wonderful atmosphere and interesting method.
My daughter is in the School of Rock program with Mr. Jessi and she loves it. I love that he comes to her school and holds class there with the students who have enrolled. I believe the class is ages 3-6 and he is able to hold their attention, engages them and gets them interested in a variation of music. I don’t think they realize how much they are learning, they are just having fun. It also means a lot to me that my daughter has a richly diverse ear for all types of music and gets to hear classic rock, rock, oldies…. and a lot of the greats that have changed and shaped our culture. We hope to continue on to private guitar lessons, as that’s where her interest is and we will definitely do it at School of Rock. Thanks guys!
I really like my instructor and the school is friendly. But there are two things that are not to my liking: lessons are too short at 45 minutes and you have to give 24 hours notice if you miss band or a lesson or you have to forfeit the fee for that lesson. That is fair but if your lesson or band is on Monday and they are closed over the weekend, there’s no way to give them enough notice. Some of the rules they have are inflexible and only benefit the school, not the students.
Great place for kids! Lessons offered at regular times and days make it easy for parents. Friendly staff, convenient locations.

I love that School of Rock inspires my children and keeps them interested in learning more. Littleton School of Rock is an excellent program, with a very professional director and a staff of genuinely talented people. I can’t tell you how much my kids have learned in the last year, all while having a blast at the same time.
School of Rock in Littleton is the best. My kids and I love it there. The staff are amazing and fantastic at their job. They care about you as a student and show it through their instruction and the way they handle their customers. My kids will be going here for a long time. Plus they have an adult program, how awesome is that.
I like the supportive, knowledgeable staff. They really do care about the kids and sharing their love of music. I appreciated the great communication from all. Maggie was a pleasure to work with when we had to reschedule a lesson. The performances were well organized and everyone was given a chance to shine on stage! The house band was a very meaningful bonus for our son! So thankful that our son could be introduced to the band experience with such great mentors leading him!
We have had a horrible experience with their remote online lessons. We signed up two kids (one keyboard and one guitar) and have given it almost 2 months of time, in which, they have yet to learn or be given a single song to practice. We have never been sent a copy of the Method book either. Every week the instructors get on and tell them to practice chords and scales but don’t assign any music in which they could practice chords and scales within. We have reached out to the school numerous times to try to work through these as we know we are all struggling to adapt to the CoVid 19 world but week after week, no changes are made. This is a total waste of money for beginners. The school does not deliver the services for the money you pay.
School of Rock Highlands Ranch
Address: 9265 S Broadway #200, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129 , Erie , Colorado , United States
We are so thrilled with School of Rock in Highlands Ranch. My 7 year old son has been going here for just over 2 months now, learning drums. He’s learned so so so much in the short time he’s been there, and he’s loved every minute of it. The owners are so supportive of all the kids, and his personal instructor Christian is absolutely amazing with him.
Erie Community Center
Address: 450 Powers St, Erie, CO 80516 , Erie , Colorado , United States
Very warm and cozy in lobby. Lots of young kid friendly spaces. Pool is always wonderful and clean.
I love this gym! Such fantastic group fitness classes. Unfortunately I just moved to Longmont and joined Gold’s, and this has really made me appreciate all that the Erie rec has to offer. Nice new equipment, clean facility, enthusiastic and creative instructors. I’m missing the Erie rec! Special thanks to Ashley, Tracy, Reina, and Michelle…always loved attending their classes and will keep coming whenever I’m in the area.
Swimming pool is great!
Nice facility
Pool is great, especially for kids. Swirling pool and slide is awesome.
The free weight area needs to be revised however. Only one rack for squatting and not much room for doing any kind of barbell work.
We live in Erie and always go but when we moved here we were super bumbed to see that they didn’t have a steam room or dry sauna and it definitely doesn’t feel like it was built for the size of our growing community we also use this facility to workout and it is always super busy we have had Birthday parties here and they are very well priced.
My sister just had her car stolen!! No she did not leave her keys in the car. They were in her locker inside the facility! Is this place NOT checking who is coming and going??? She has since learned there were 4 smash and grabs last week in the parking lot!! Are they NOT telling their members????
THIS IS A PSA for alll the other members.
Hire a security company??? Oh that’s right, cities cannot balance their budgets?? AND when she got home, her garage door was open, so they read the registration and used the door opener to see if there was more to steel!! Thank God for her alarm system.
This will NOT BE my only communication with inept rec center.
Watch out members, your personal belongings are no longer safe inside the building!!
Two lifeguards made my seven year old cry twice in the span of ten minutes. Communication at this rec center is horrendous. If you have an adult swim scheduled, parents should be able to see it posted. If you have given lessons to a child for a year, ongoing, you should recognize that the child, WHO IS A RESIDENT, can swim in her home pool without intimidating her to the point of tears to take a swimming test. Never have I experienced such a ridiculous show of poor public service. F-
