This place helps instill a love of truly good music in my child and a passion for learning guitar (and other instruments). Love them!
Awesome Facility, Awesome Experience!
Russ was super helpful and made me feel welcomed.
Jackson was awesome to work with for my very first vocal lesson and made me feel confident and excited to learn how to sing!
My 15 year old son just wrapped up a week long summer camp program for 60s and 70s rock. The program really helped him sharpen his guitar skills and practice performing with other musicians. The instructors are cool, engaging and supportive teachers. My son had a fantastic time playing his electric guitar with his bandmates. Baby Cage is so metal!

We’ve only just started, but my daughter loved her first class. She is always nervous to start new things, but she left smiling and asked me to sign her up for more.
What’s not to like? My daughter gets to be surrounded by other kids with a passion for music. It’s fun. The music is great. The instructors are great. My daughter has learned so much, and is having fun in the process.
Our 11 yo boy has been going to SOR Almaden for about a year now and it is by far his favorite out of school activity. The music teachers have been wonderful and the staff always very accommodating with schedule changes and advice on how to develop our son as a musician. The concerts they put on are so much fun and the whole family are in awe how fast our son has advanced as a performer and also in his confidence. A real gem of a place.

My two boys have been taking lessons at School of Rock since last year. One takes vocals and the other drums. They both see Patrick. He is amazing and has taught them so much. My younger son is in Rock Band now performing Woodstock. It’s been a great experience overall!
My daughters adore coming to the School of Rock. I considered other places for drums and vocals lessons but School of Rock fosters a “get on stage and play with others” spirit which is something they were looking to do more than the traditional end of year recital. Weekly private lessons combined with weekend stage practice is a huge hit and never any complaints about going. The instructors seem quite patient in working with the kids.

The School of Rock Berkeley has taken my 10 year old drumming daughter’s skills to a level that seemed impossible a couple of months ago. Through the private lessons, she has been exposed to different genres of music and techniques that took her from playing basic rhythms to actual syncopation complete with fills and tempo changes. And now that she is playing with the performance band she gets to play alongside some uber-talented kids which has pushed her to be better. And to top it off, the school is located in a super cute neighborhood and the school itself is awesomely decorated inside and always kept clean and sanitized. The staff and teachers are all welcoming. Couldnt ask for more from the perspective of a parent hoping that their kid finds a lifelong love of music.
My 4 year old son takes drum lessons here from the nicest most patient teacher, Jordan. Highly recommend!
My son loves the little rookies classes.

Great experience fir ny grandson
Terrible for adult vocal lessons, for around 300 bucks you do weekly lessons and band rehearsal, despite the price tag my instructor was clearly not qualified and seemed unsure of herself, was also rude. Scolded me at the beginning of my paid lesson time, had me seeing red, yet unable to leave because I still had to do the lesson, which I was paying a lot of money for. They make you cancel a month in advance and when I did, rehearsal with the group band got awkward, one of the band members told me not to “feel pressured to show up anymore” which came across as don’t show up. anyways with regards to the band I came in at a time when all I was allowed to do was watch if I wanted to rehearse a song I would have to pay for another month and the song had to be one that they approved of. The worst part is I still live in the same town so I’ll see them around from time. I honestly wished I had never signed up to begin with. I had high hopes for school of rock and was left severely disappointed.
This place may seem incredible; however, I found out that the instructor entertains the kids with the new version of Hangman Game; the Astronaut Game, during my daughter’s music class. I understand that children need a little break (however, this is not a school with study hours, this is a 30-minute class); however, I can’t fully agree to play it for a while and not even for a whole class; this is unbelievable !!! Also, I was paying for a music class and not for babysitting. Well, I made my complaint, and this is what I got: “I should change my daughter to a different level because she is too mature for the class.” On top of that, they also told me that she was lying about it. Very disappointed with this place.

This place is unique in the delivery of lessons. The kids are working toward a performance or jam session goal, not a recital. We love all the instructors, every one!
