Their staff is always so happy and excited. Makes the experience out of this world.
I love how my daughter has grown in confidence and how she has an opportunity to study music and be a part of music. With her ADHD her school restricts her ability to participate in music classes. She has wanted to take music in school since she was in grade school. The School of Rock has finally allowed us to give her the music “class” she has wanted so much.She shines! My daughter is an accomplished singer and can sing in front of an audience with confidence. The support and camaraderie at the school of rock has been such a positive influence on her life. I recommend the School of Rock to any parent with a child that has or a child that doesn’t have ADHD because it is such a positive influence. Positive experience! We Love the School of Rock!
I love it so much me teacher is the best
I am very disappointed with the work of the School of Rock Plainfield, in the 9 days that have passed since the agreement on a trial lesson for my six-year-old daughter, none of the managers of the School of Rock Plainfield checked and noticed that the lesson time was not set correctly, and when we arrived, they simply offered to come to the next week. My child was very upset because all this time, she was looking forward to this lesson, and I had to think carefully and reschedule her other classes for the time of the scheduled lesson. I was upset that the manager did not even consider it necessary to approach us. She spoke to me, standing at the opposite end of the hall. I don’t know how they teach music, but the management is very unprofessional.

My son has been going to this wonderful school To learn drum for more than 4 years. He still feels very excited about every time he goes. Instructors in this school are very professional. They are actual musicians and keen to teach the kids from their practical experience as well as the methodology developed by the school. As the parent, I have evidenced how much the music can turn a kid to better person with appreciation to the world and lives . I am Also very impressed about their theory of learning from live performance. 4 times of live performance with Band rehearsals every week every year provide a lot of fun and joy to the kids and the family. We so enjoyed the live performance and extremely amazed to see how great the kids can play and enjoy.
AnnMarie and Jim, the owner s of the school are Wonderful and taking very good of the school. I can tell they treat this not as a business but their passion to life!
Great school! Wonderful instructors and worth every penny you paid!
I love that they are grouped w/ other kids to form a band & on stage quickly!
We had my son’s birthday party here yesterday, and the kids had a blast! The instructors were great, and found creative ways to engage the kids with each instrument. My son said his party was “one of the best days of his life”! We will be enrolling him in a class here very soon.
They do an excellent job trying to ensure the student experience is a positive and rich one. My daughter loves her instructor.
listened at the show at the library, very good.

Love this place. School of rock has done tons for my daughters confidence! Bringing her out of her shell and developing her talents…
The staff makes students feel welcome and comfortable in such a creative environment!
Highly recommended
My daughter has been a student at School of Rock for about two years now. She came in only knowing a little bit about guitar. Her instructor, Nate has been phenomenal with her. Two years later, she has advanced to the performance band, which is a huge deal! And they go all out for these students, setting up for them to perform on stages at local venues, letting them feel like real rock stars! Due to Covid, this seasons performance has changed, but they are still doing what they can to help the students feel like true performers! I have nothing but good things to say about everyone at School of Rock!
Love School of Rock. Great job with lessons and I love the performance shows.
Summer Camp is so much fun for my guitarist! It brings out the little rockstar in her. I love the energy of the teachers and how they inspire the kids to do their best! I would give it 5 out of 5 stars, but the cost is high for lessons and camp.

I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect with the Barrington School of Rock adult program. I knew that I just wanted to break out of my comfort zone, actually learn some songs that I could play from start to finish, and perform in public. I have been a self-taught musician with a pretty good grasp of fundamental music theory and only beginner-intermediate acoustic guitar skills. Your program in Barrington has exceeded my wildest imagination and it has been 100% the result of your staff. I could not be happier with their enthusiasm, their continual words of encouragement, their knowledge of music, their talent, their teaching abilities, their sense of humor, their playfulness, and their efforts to fill in gaps in the band when we had shortages of adult students. I could not be more impressed with Stephanie, Danny, and Andrew, in particular. Their personalized interest has been outstanding. I have take the most private lessons from Danny. I have learned a remarkable amount from him over the last year. His listening skills are extremely good. He doesn’t just provide a boring lesson. He listens to what I want to learn and where I struggle, then he tailors the lessons to my needs. The follow-up notes he provides are ridiculously good and very helpful. It is not easy to teach music, but both Danny and Andrew can communicate it in a way that makes sense and wants me to keep going. I have learned more songs in the last year than I thought possible and I look forward to what we will do in the next year. It’s also a great opportunity to make new friendships with fellow musicians. I am honored to be part of the SOR Barrington program.
Great facility and amazing staff!
Both my sons did a camp, they had a blast and ended up performing a rock song on stage! There staff is also amazing. Totally love the place
Not really impressed with this school. We went for a trial lesson with every intention of signing up for regular classes. The instructor really had nothing to say to me after my son’s class. I had to approach him myself as he was walking away and still he barely said a thing after I inquired about how everything went. Say something man. Anything. The front desk attendant educated me more than the actual teacher. Just left w a bleh feeling. Not signing up.
This school is only for approved white rich people. Horrible experience with the instructors playing favorites. If I could give zero stars I would. All of these five star ratings are from the parents that have been given preferential treatment. Don’t waste your time, and YOUR MONEY if you’re a hardworking middle class family in this school.

They really do excellent job engaging their students. A wonderful & talented staff in every aspect. Very good communication, we always know what’s going on! They try to work with families and scheduling via virtual or in-person practice. It’s been wonderful to have the option to go in where all safety protocol is met above and beyond. She looks forward to this weekly, the routine as well as the social aspect and mostly she loves the music & strengthening her skills!
An incredibly swag place
Great people, great facility, kickass music!
I appreciate how teachers adjust their plan for individuals as well as the fact that students receive both a solo lesson and a group lesson.

I am a self-taught guitar player and was in a rut. I joined the adult program 2 months ago and cant believe the impact this program has had on my playing (skill, confidence, playing live). SoR takes safety seriously but it also feels like a community of music when I’m there. GREAT band directors and they know how to bring out each person’s skills in a pressure-free environment. I really wish I had done this sooner.
Good infrastructure and ambiance
I absolutely love the vibes here, give you a sense of home and comfort. the staff are patient, kind, sweet and knowledgeable. this school reminded me of my home school back in Austin Texas, would highly recommend taking your kid with talent to become a great musician here!
Love School of Rock! The approach of mixing individual lessons with a band of peers and actual performances is perfect for learning and staying motivated. The instructors are great, and the bands have a chance to play venues all over the area. We have been with the school since they opened a few years ago. Our son has moved from guitar and bass to drums, and had a great experience with each instrument. The staff is responsive and friendly, the kids have developed real friendships, and they are playing great music (no hot cross buns played on repeat at this school).
My son had an awesome time at School of Rock today.
Kind and informative. But not very professional on the phone.

Awesome place to learn and better yourself as a musician! Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and great at inspiring the students to learn music! The School of Rock method is streamlined through professional means to keep that consistency with the successful franchise. The location is very clean, easy to navigate, decor is elevated all around and COVID-19 precautions were in place when it was needed most, still optionable I believe at request. Learning music can inspire confidence for somebody of any age, it’s invaluable and although it could be very tough to learn instruments it can be very fufilling, very good for the brain as well! I myself have taken lessons in the past from private teachers all the way through college level classes and having the system in place is highly effective, curtailed to modern technology like apps. Pricing is reasonable, the skills for life are worth unpinching any penny. What would I change? Perhaps building a small stage to lift drums off floor in band rooms, T.V in the back lobby, more soundproofing including foam, diffusion and although this is more of a franchise suggestion, adding music studio/production/recording elements to the mix! Also, more raises for the drum teachers!! Great location!

The administration and instructors are really working hard to continue lessons and rehearsals through zoom. I appreciate my daughter continuing her lessons and maintaining that connection with her band.
We have enjoyed everything about School of Rock!
School of Rock Highwood is AMAZING! We love the teachers and staff. Our kids have learned so much, have made wonderful relationships, and have had incredible experiences performing in cool venues all around the city and suburbs.

Our son has been taking drum lessons at SOR for the past two years. The instructors are great and they create a productive and fun learning environment for the kids. Highly recommend them.
The staff and the shows are great! The kids make friends and learn to get on stage and they build confidence!
School of Rock’s philosophy of teaching is through songs. It has proven to be a greta way to teach me how to play the electric guitar. I recommend The School of Rock to anyway wanting to learn how to play any instrument!
