We absolutely LOVE SOR @Carmichael!! My oldest plays drums, and my youngest is taking singing lessons. Shout out to ALL of the instructors, but especially Jordan!! This place ROCKS!
School of Rock provides such a unique experience for students. All three locations in the Sacramento area have their own charm, personality, and sense of camaraderie. I can’t wait to see the school when it’s finished.
Very cool school. My granddaughter loves her voice instructor Rachel. Open house tomorrow 2/26/22
Would give zero stars it would let me. Scheduled my 9 year old daughter’s drum lesson over phone. She was very excited! Showed up and they had not Scheduled her, drum instructor was gone for the day, and they had no idea what happened? Unbelievably unprofessional, and worst of all, I had to look at the disappointment on my daughter’s face. I thought this was going to be a positive situation for her, instead they let her down.
My disabled partner was looking for something fun to do in-between speech therapies and physical therapies. He needed something to take his mind off of things, something that may also be therapeutic. So, we decided to schedule a singing lesson at the school of rock. His speech therapist agreed, it was a great idea.
Hi appointment was scheduled for May 27 at 10:30am. They asked us to arrive at 10:15am. We planned the days schedule around the appointment. We showed up at 10:15am, as instructed. When we arrived they told my partner the vocal instructor had called in sick. They had been open since 9am yet they didn’t bother to call or email to cancel. They offered to reschedule for the following Saturday. We agreed.
Again they said to arrive at 10:15am for a 10:30 appointment on June 3rd. Again we planed our schedule around the appointment. However, around noon on the 2nd we received an email saying the appointment had been moved to 11:30am on the 3rd due to a staffing issue. We thought “Okay, well at least they contacted us in advance this time.”
We rearranged our schedule for the day. We arrived at 11:15am for an 11:30am appointment, as requested. Again they said someone didn’t show up, they didn’t have enough staff to cover the appointment.
I asked the person at the front desk why they hadn’t contacted us in advance for either cancellation. Their first response was to pass the buck and say “I don’t know I’m only here on Saturdays.” Perhaps this person isn’t payed enough to take responsibility for anything. Perhaps they aren’t payed enough to put in any amount of effort and make the situation right. I don’t know. I can only speculate. After some disingenuous apologies, an ear full of excuses, and no offer to make the situation right, we left unsatisfied.
The bottom line:
This company hasn’t any semblance of courtesy, consideration, reliability or professionalism. They wouldn’t know customer service if it bit them in their bass.

Best youth music program! Leslie and her staff are the best.
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.
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.

I love this place. My kids go here, learning how to rock the front lines. Liberating the world with their high voltage rock! Or you could learn classical or whatever, if you’re into that sort of stuff…
This place rocks! Great people who obviously care about their students a lot. Free first lesson. My nephew loves it here. He started with just drums and added guitar & bass soon after.
Blown away by how cool this place is inside – definitely a must see! I liked how they offer various programs and lesson opportunities, plus you can do a free trial lesson before committing to anything. The instructors are phenomenal with the students too! Very impressed.
