Other than upgrading this building (which is a desperate need right now), Colorado Christian University has an incredible music program that I know will only grow from here. The staff and professors are fantastic and deeply care about their students and their work. I went to a CCU choir performance as a senior in high school because I knew I wouldn’t be able to attend a school with a horrible choir, but I was blown away and so relieved that I wouldn’t have to worry after I witnessed one of the most incredible choirs I’ve ever seen. If you want to study music, don’t rule out CCU. This music program is a diamond in the rough and most likely only a couple years from being discovered as one of the best. 🙂
CCU has a great music program. They just need an upgraded music building.

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.

Excellent all around. My son loves his lessons here and had a chance to perform in a local concert which gave him a lot of confidence and made him realize he can really apply what he is learning. Highly recommend School of Rock. We are in year two here and love it!
Great new spot on 120th!
It’s been an excellent experience for our son. Teachers are patient, engaging and relatable.
Attentive and inspiring instructors!
Auditioned here a while back for a teaching position. Despite 20 years of playing rock and a minor in jazz they wouldn’t even call me back when I tried to follow up 2 days later. If you really want to help a musician get a private lesson. That way all the money actually goes to the person who spent years working on their craft rather than the School of Rock franchise fees. They pay $15/hour to start. They weren’t concerned with my experience playing rock, they were more concerned with arbitrary things like the half note shuffle or 6 strike roll. Elements of exactly .001% of rock songs. High prices babysitters basically

We love Halle! She is sweet and positive and an amazing instructor. Kelly is also awesome. She is very easy to talk to you and knowledgeable about all of the teachers. It’s evident that she tries to place your child with the best fitting teacher . Recently we had our first band performance and I was absolutely blown away. Thank you!
My son has enjoyed his lessons tremendously, and everyone I’ve interacted with is friendly and professional!
School of Rock makes learning music so much fun! Everyone is so nice and supportive! My son loves it and is increasing confidence because of it in a way that traditional piano lessons wasn’t accomplishing.
This place used to be fabulous with great instructors who were trained in teaching kids – not just in playing. Over the past six months almost all of those teachers (who are still shown on the website) have left. The operations of the place have gone downhill and the newer instructors are a much lower caliber. It is disappointing to give a mediocre rating, as this place used to be great and my kids loved it. I hope they can turn things around.
Our daughter has grown as a musician while taking lessons and participating in performance groups. Our highlight so far has been performing at The Fox theater in Boulder. Next up…Red Rocks!
**Editing this review WAY up from 1 star because this School has undergone some MAJOR changes in the last 6 months! There is NEW management, there are some FABULOUS (and also new) instructors, and everything is just looking amazing for this place. I’m grateful and relieved that we stuck it out through a challenging time — this is an amazing place for our kid (He has been playing here for 4 years now).
I fully expect to be able to bump this review up to 5 stars over the next several months.
They aren’t helping families who can’t afford to pay for lessons during this pandemic and not only that but they are still applying their 30 day notice for canceling your classes so they families who can’t afford it still have to pay for those 30 days no matter what. This is just not cool and shows they don’t care about their students and their families.
We had a poor experience with the staff at the Boulder School of Rock. I understand that they have had a lot of turnover recently, Lessons were cancelled last minute and there were problems with payments. I would not recommend it to anyone.
