School of Rock has drastically changed my outlook on music and team work. You realize just how much fun it is playing in a group or in front of an audience, and not just in your bedroom. I’m so glad I signed up for vocal lessons, and so glad I got the teacher I did. Everyone here is extremely friendly, and it really feels like a family. I would recommend School of Rock to any musician, aspiring or even professional, purely for the fact that this place makes my day and makes me a better musician.
My daughter has been a student at School of Rock Evanston for going on 2 years and LOVES the time she gets to spend there. The school is filled with teachers, young and oldish, all passing along their love of making music to a younger generation. The community is very welcoming and my daughter feels valued and supported by everyone in it. I HIGHLY recommend giving your kids this kind of experience, mine has benefitted immensely from her time here!

The instructors seem competent and my son enjoys the lessons. I just wish it was easier communicating with the staff. Due to the late-ish hours the business runs, getting an actual person on the phone is potluck. Email sometimes gets an answer within a couple of hours, other times it seems that days go by before someone responds. Their overall attitude is laid-back, which is fine, I suppose, and in keeping with the SOR “way”. I just think they could be a bit more professional and efficient insofar as the customer service is concerned.
If you are thinking about taking lessons or signing your child up for lessons, you should seriously reconsider this location. Find a corporate location that has the proper resources. This place is overall NOT functional and failing.

My son has been in SOR for several years. He is thrilled with the level of instruction, quality of instruction, support and friendship with the staff and fellow students and the opportunity to play in a group. Great format. We are thrilled.
Before I started coming here I was shy and would panic if someone told me to sing in front of them, but now I’m picking up any instrument I can find and doing what I love in front of people and pushing myself, all with thanks to school of rock.
I have been at the Chicago School of Rock for 6 years now, and the amount of confidence, growth in my musicianship and stage presence I have gotten from this program is amazing. The teachers are great, and shows enable you to have fun WHILE learning a ton! I’d recommend School of Rock to anyone!

There is no better way to play music. School of rock brings together kids who are passionate about music and dedicated to bettering themselves. The teachers are experts at what they do and they teach you what you want to know. You get to play crazy places all around the city like Lincoln Hall. Plus, you meet a ton of great people. School of Rock teaches you how to be a musician and the lessons you learn here will help you out in the real music scene.
My boys had the BEST week at camp at school of rock. They had so much fun with the teachers and loved rocking out!
School of Rock Hinsdale is the best. Great enviroment, great instructors and amazing program. My boys have been here now 5 years rocking out to real rock and roll, Indie pops and performing at real music venues. This programs teaches students to be confident and be on stage.

The teachers and staff here are awesome, and it’s really exciting to watch my son expand his musical interests into bands he’d probably never otherwise listen to, like the Beatles or the Cure. I’m excited to watch him grow here. He particularly loves the group rehearsals. I highly recommend this place!
My daughter has been at Elmhurst School of Rock for 3 years. She is 11 1/2 years old and has grown and matured in her skills, thus providing her with an immense amount of confidence. The teachers are amazing and very talented. We are there 3 days a week for vocals, guitar and song writing. Every week, they continue to engage her with exciting material and lessons. The group performance program has taught her to practice, somewhat like a sport, not just for her, but for her bandmates. My girl is a rocker and there is no other place she wants to be!
My son loves playing guitar at School of Rock Elmhurst! His teaching is first rate, and the experience playing in a band with his peers makes him excited to practice and play each week. It’s amazing to see the caliber of performances they are able to pull together each season. Keep up the great work, SOR!
LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. My daughter won’t stop talking about it. Great space, everyone is friendly and I love the vibe.
Wish a few teachers had a little more training in controlling kids. Some kids like to take control of the class and a couple teachers are too gentle in calling them. It effects class time for others.
