The top 18 music camp in Hometown, United States

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!

They are the kindest and the most competent staff I have seen in ages

We stopped here for the “free haunted house” this Saturday and it was a fun stop. Everyone was so nice and the band playing was very talented.

I had a wonderful experience! My instructor was very friendly and honestly the best drum teacher i have ever had. I was never given basic fundamentals and we went over those as well as played songs that I listen to all the time. Would highly recommend this location! 🙂

My child enjoyed their lessons, but this business practices incredibly deceptive billing, re-scheduling, and cancellation policies.

Experienced staff, amazing instructors, good people…

A good place for kids to get jiggy with the tunes!

Great place to learn music, your instrument of choice and the band bonding experience.

You will appreciate the music you love more than you ever expected.

Disappointing. I have two kids there. They decided to switch my kids lesson whither I liked it or not, because her teacher was needed elsewhere. They were having her teacher teach a group class. So they inconvenienced us to make more money whither we liked it or not.

My other child is in group kids class, it doesn’t seem like he’s learning anything. He spent one day drawing a picture of drums and played no music. It’s more like music themed daycare than music lessons. Classes start late every week.

I was using SoR in Elmhurst. They rarely had the same teacher from week to week, at least there each kid got to play their own instruments for the class. My scheduled changed and they don’t have Sat classes. Usually with the franchisee model things are held together a lot better.

It’s too bad because I like the model where kids play together.

I have been a student here for years and I have nothing but great things to say. It’s an Amazing place with AMAZING people! It’s the perfect place to learn music in a positive environment. Great for beginner musicians as well as experienced, as there is a lot to learn from the instructors there about music and what it’s like to be in a real band. Can’t get this kind of musical experience and knowledge anywhere else!

The music is chosen by the student and so they are really engaged. It makes learning fun and real pay off comes quick! Great attitude of all the staff! Fun, cool. Great approach.

We have been going for about the last 6 years. Now my youngest is also involved. It has been the best experience! I would highly recommend it. For my oldest, 12 years old, it helped him have an outlet and meet new people that shared interests. It made him more confident and he truly has a love of music! My youngest, 5 years old, is a busy body but loves music! He has favorite songs now that we don’t typically listen to regularly. He knows so much about music and loves to share his knowledge. It has taught him some self control as well as how to let loose and have fun! We plan to be with the School of Rock in Plainfield for as long as my boys continue to have a love for music! They are amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to have teaching and interacting with my children!

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.

Love this place!!

ROCK and ROLL

My son, Liam, has been at SOR Evanston for many years (drums, guitar and bass) and has greatly developed his musical and stage presence skills. The performance series shows are particularly entertaining! Since Liam is graduating HS in May, it will be sad to leave SOR but we’re all so grateful for the positive experience and friendships made along the way. Well done SOR Evanston!

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.

School of Rock Geneva has been such a gift to our kids. Not only do they get the experience of learning a musical instrument but they also get to experience what it’s like to be supported and encourage by the amazing staff and their peers during performance group. To top it all off they perform live rock concerts to the public. So not only are they getting support and encouragement but also validation of their self expression. This has increased their self confidence and created ease with expressing themselves. The magnitude of positive change I have seen in my kids since starting at SOR is exponential. They have become a part of a community that is a home away from home. They feel safe and they are inspired, doing what they love with people that they love and they are having a blast! We are beyond grateful that SOR has created this amazing program for our kids!

Joe is awesome! Very kind and patient.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE this place!!

Not what you need if you want to have your child to learn the fundamentals of music, learn how to become a better musician, improve on their instrument. No this is not that place. if your child wants to just “jam out” and play whatever along with other students of (somewhat) similar musical level then you’ll find that here.

OVERPRICED & lacking for an inadequate musical education. Staff is inappropriate to teach children. My kid got hurt there due to the sloppiness. Owner & staff didn’t seem to care or take his injuries seriously. They just want you to pay, but don’t know what they’re doing in terms of tending to kids needs or teaching the fundamentals of music. I won’t be trusting my kids alone with them in the future.

Inept management and an absentee owner that couldn’t care less about the well being of the students. There inability to effectively communicate and problem solve made it a nightmare to work there. The students are fantastic and the staff is good too. Poor management that needs to be replaced. I would highly suggest looking into private lessons elsewhere.

My son had a great time at School of Rock’s week long Rock 101 camp. He went in having never played an instrument and ended the week playing drums and bass in a band! He now wants to keep playing.

My child thoroughly enjoys her private guitar lessons!

Our son has had a really great time learning music here. The staff is wonderful and we are pleased we signed him up here!

listened at the show at the library, very good.

They do an excellent job trying to ensure the student experience is a positive and rich one. My daughter loves her instructor.

Everything has been great, from getting kids playing songs right away, to switching up instruments, and the communication all throughout, I highly recommend School of Rock!

I have been coming here for around 5-6 years and I can confirm that all teachers here are amazing. The bands are also great.

My 7 year old son loves his music lessons and band practice. Highly recommend.

My daughter loves the zoom voice lessons and her in person band practices.

Good infrastructure and ambiance

My son is shy but they have managed to make him feel comfortable singing his heart out. He loves music and we feel whether it’s as a music teacher or singing in some capacity we’re hopeful that the school of rock gives him the confidence and foundation to pursue music.
He is hyper and all over the place but music gives him something to focus on! We couldn’t be happier with the school. They genuinely care about their students!

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.
