My son (12) plays drums, and my daughter (14) plays guitar. We’ve been going to SoR Natick since late February and they are having a great time.
It is expensive, especially with two kids going at the same time, but if you count the 2.5 hours a week of rehearsal time + the .75 hours a week of instruction time it comes out to about $23/hour ($325 a month divided by ~14 hours/month). Granted they are not playing for the full 2.5 hours of rehearsal time, it’s still a good value if you consider music store lessons are $25-$35 for a *half* hour.
The performance program also encourages the kids to practice more often then when they were taking individual lessons. If you value working as a team as a valuable life skill, but your child is not a team sports kind of kid (or maybe you’re not a team sports kind of parent…) SoR is a great program for them to learn work as a team while building a skill they’ll have for life.
How much fun is this! A terrific path towards learning an instrument…. proving the School of Rock is for all ages (I’m 56)…… my son, 10, inspired me…
Total blast.
I have been learning electric guitar here for 2 years best session of my people here are so nice and helpful

My son loves the format, can’t recommend this method enough, he’s very engaged and enthusiastic about going to lessons! The owner Mark and his employees are very nice and accommodating to my son and I. We highly recommend School of Rock Burlington!
Our kids had a blast at School of Rock camp with Mark, Celine, and Hannah. I cannot recommend this method and team enough! our kids had no real music experience and came out of the camp excited to learn more and hone their new skills as music lovers. Thank you!

Premier chamber music camp in the northeast. Free concerts open to the public every Saturday of July and the first Saturday of August.
It’s a very nice place. Teenagers reject the social construct of footwear and play classical music in tiny wooden cabins. Occasionally we play games where people pretend to be dead or where we have to cut a grown man’s beard with impressively dull scissors at around 9:30 PM. The only punishment basically ever given is taking the trash out at night. It’s a great place unless you forget to wash your dishes immediately after you use them…
an isolated place where everyone walks barefoot and plays instruments in tiny practice cabins and then they play games that involve things like pretending to kill a fellow camper and then trying to figure out who did it or trying to find hidden treasure while young adults bang on the walls in the middle of the night
this place took nico from me

Started drum lessons and Adult Band one year ago at SOR after a very poor experience with guitar lessons 35 years ago out west. My instructor Dylan is fabulous, helps me to understand drum mechanics and theory while enjoying the learning and practice process, challenged every day. Adult Band has helped me grow so much as a drummer, still learning the big and little things every time I sit down. Our first performance in Providence a few weeks ago was something I had dreamed of doing for a long time, though too scared to even contemplate previously. Will never listen to music the same way again, my life changed by Dylan and everyone at SOR. Thanks so much!
School of Rock is not just for kickstarting grade schoolers into a terrific musical experience. My special needs son is really enjoying his weekly instructions with Matt at the Norwood school. And the staff is really great at making my son feel right at home.
Connor is the man! Vocal or drum lessons, his approach is fantastic, laid back, but super professional
Update Sept 2023: The Norwood School of Rock fell apart in Spring 2023 due to actions of the owners. Big staff and leadership turnover. They are currently trying to get back on their feet. I ended up leaving due to the culture shock.
Original review: I am learning drums and am part of the adult rock band group at School of Rock Norwood. Combining the lesson with the group is a great way to stay motivated. The group is chill and accepting of all of its members. The staff are zany, super smart, and talented. They get you playing, giving just enough theory and exercises to get you good enough to play, mixed with lots of playing real songs from day 1. Thanks for making my day, School of Rock Norwood!

We get to know this wonderful school by attending their storytelling concert at library. I’m impressed by the professional performance, so I register my kid for the Music pups class. Both of us love this class a lot. The teacher Jennifer is awesome. She’s very passionate and knows how to engage everyone in the class. Both of my kid and I enjoyed sing and dance with her in the class. It helped us build a good memory that will last a long time. And I also learned some music that I could sing to my child in the future. I highly recommend this class to anyone that have babies / toddlers.
We love the music pops (for infants and toddlers). The teacher is very nice and good at motivating parents and children to sing and dance together. We love the songs. Listening to the songs and singing them in the car with our daughter in the car everyday is such a great fun! We have attended two sessions. Highly recommend this class for parents with infants and/or children aged up to 4!
I have taken all 4 of my children to Music Pups at Powers over the years. We love it! The older kids still sing the songs.
I Hate it so much
I bought a whole session piano class for my niece and then the course was not sufficient so her mom decided to drop but they did not allow for a refund. When she called them to postpone remaining classes for next season they said its okay but asked for extra money from her. Very disappointed. Money is gone without my niece taking any valuable classes!
They are not helpful they waste my money didn’t helped me for that i paid whole summer tuition but we couldn’t get more than 2 classes because of their misunderstanding and they did nothing for that !!!!!!!!

The school AMAZING and the teachers are very nice even when you had issues the people with problems with the school just had a bad experience. I think the school is an amazing place to learn great music.
This music school is impressive and clearly focuses on quality music education. They have served the Newton area for many years.
Hi! I used ANMS for music class last year, 2 weeks of camp last year and for their kindergarten Xylophone School during this past school year. If I had an easy child, I am sure it would have been a good program, but my child is a bit challenging but is sweet, smart and well- behaved.. He did ok with the camp. I found out during xylophone class my child was being disruptive the first half of the year and not participating the 2nd half of the year. What really annoys me is that there was no communication with me the Mom. If a student is having trouble for an extended period of time, the parent should be contacted and a plan created.
I was told, well its only a 45 minute group class and the teacher is busy. Well, that is unacceptable without proper parent communication, expectations could not be set. My 6 year old now has no interest in instrumental music.
Also, during last year’s music class i was called to pick up my child because he could stop crying…Well, turns out he had a small cut near his eye and needed 3 stitches. He was injured by the sharp edge of the whiteboard. Instead of looking at his face, the teacher was annoyed that he was crying.
I ended up asking for a partial refund because it was clear that my son was not prepared for the end of the year performance and he is a lot happier now. They also have a draconian refund policy. I understand that this is a school but they are so money hungry that they are inflexible.
If you have that perfect child, this school may work well for you. If you have a more mature student this may be the school for you. But beware.

My grandson three weeks before leaving was sent a notice that he had to pay $30,000 before he could come to the school. Had already paid his monies he was told he needed up front. He was crushed and so were we. Why would this not be made clear up front?!
