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 (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.

In an era of kids internalizing into their smartphones, working on outward expression of themselves is the best counterpunch!
I highly recommend School of Rock – my daughter has been taking drum lessons for a few years now and absolutely loves it! She started out only wanting to take lessons but ended up joining the Seasonal Shows and fell in love. The instructors and band members have become family to her and School of Rock is like a second home for her where everyone can feel included and safe.

School of Rock Norwood has been an excellent outlet for our son. It has provided a supportive and creative environment for him to learn and perform! He has been at School of Rock for almost 2 years and we’re excited with the new, positive changes.
My son had the best time at Rock 101 camp and has been begging me to go back everyday. They did a wonderful job letting him be himself and helped him build confidence with his singing! He can’t wait to sign up for lessons in the fall. 🙂
The lessons are great, but combining the lessons with playing as a group reinforces what I learn in the lessons and has taught me so much more. The best part of the school is the staff. Everyone who I have worked with is knowledgeable, friendly and patient. I have taken informal lessons from friends and formal lessons at another school, but I never made as much progress as I have at the School of Rock Norwood/Walpole.
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!
