I love all of the support and encouragement and working with kids at their own level to build them up!
This place is awesome. My 6 year old daughter love school of rock. She want to be a rock singer and with this school her dream will come true.
Amazing group of talented and supportive instructors and coaches! Performers of all ages are welcomed and encouraged to reach their highest potential. So happy we were introduced to School of Rock!

SoR Columbia has been a fantastic experience for our whole family. Our son has greatly improved his guitar skills & his confidence has quadrupled. My husband & I love to watch the performances & we are always blown away by the kids as well as the whole SoR staff. The staff is so friendly and professional that they make my son immediately feel at ease. Our son will now sing on stage which he swore he would never do before he started at SoR. Because of his “Rock Star” confidence, our son went to NYC and auditioned on Broadway. He didn’t get the role, but he had a blast & has been inspired to keep practicing. We love SoR Columbia!
The School of Rock adult program is amazing. It has helped me develop as a musician in ways I only dreamed possible. I’ve met other like-minded adults at the school and I have a great time playing with them in the Grad School band. The young staff is very talented. They are the kinds of musicians you’d expect to find in Baltimore or New York. They are friendly and encouraging. The instruction and rehearsals are rigorous; no EZ chords at this school! When you perform, you feel like you’re playing the real stuff. I’ve played songs from a huge variety of bands and musicians, including Pink Floyd, Hall and Oates, Grace Potter, Fleetwood Mac and Joss Stone. The practices are often just as fun as the performances.
My son really enjoyed this experience. Teachers are wonderful and friendly. I am thinking in signing him again for classes and camp.
First let me start off by saying, the teachers at Columbia SOR are amazing and my daughter had such an amazing time in vocal classes with Gideon & Zack and Keys classes with Alex and Colin. And we really, really wanted it to work out but the administration at this branch of SOR was absolutely abysmal. The pervasive disorganization, cancelled lessons (sometimes on the same day), constantly shifting schedules, inconsistencies in which teacher we would have from week to week overshadowed whatever benefit my daughter was getting from the highly professional teachers at Columbia SOR. It made us very sad to leave the school because my daughter really made a connection with and loved working with her teachers and we really tried to put up with the mismanagement at the Columbia SOR. But ultimately the mismanagement was too much to bear. If Columbia SOR gets their act together, it could be a great place to learn music. However, at this time, I would not recommend spending your money there, which is a shame because the teachers really are great.
Hi guys ! Please save your money and time and do
NOT go to this place . My daughter had an appointment and my mother in law took my daughter showed them the confirmation email with the time and date that they sent . The staff stated that the appointment time was wrong , even though it came from them . I reluctantly reschedule my appointment and they sent an email and again this happens . Just please don’t go here staff is very unprofessional . I would give no stars if I could .
My experience is with Siohban Beckett. She inserted herself into a situation at work, based on a rumor from her friend and her own personal prejudice, that started an investigation. When nothing was found, she escalated the rumors, sending messages to her friends on social media, with the full intent of having someone fired. Based on the screenshots of her messages, Siohban Beckett’s own credibility was damaged. She left after one performance night.

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.
We appreciate the focus on music our kid actually WANTS to play and the individualized support he receives. The group performances are well thought-out and very inclusionary, allowing kids to stretch their wings by also doing backup instrumentation and vocals. Our son has grown tremendously in a very short time with School of Rock, both as a musician and with his personal confidence. We will continue as long as we can!
My daughter had the best time at the summer camp!
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.

My son is a drummer and joined to apply his years of lessons into a real band situation that the other music lesson place did not offer. He LOVES it. Staff are fantastic and he has made some great friends here too! Highly recommend.
Our child is thrilled going to DC School of Rock. Now he wants to go every day. The attention that he gets is unbelievable. Thank you so much to Chris and his team for delivering marvelous experience for our kids. Keep up the great work!
My five year old loved the school! She feels like a rock star 🙂
Owner contacted me about working there, was rude and inconsiderate on the phone. Very disappointing.
Beware! While the program might be interesting, the Cleveland Park location is poorly run and it will bring you more headaches than benefits.
