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!

Our experience with School of Rock Wakefield has been fantastic. My son takes guitar and drum lessons with the talented instructor, Josh. Under his guidance, my son has grown as a musician and gained confidence. Being part of the 101 rock band has been amazing, with exhilarating performances and remarkable progress. The school provides a nurturing environment, supportive staff, and top-notch facilities. They offer a comprehensive musical education, inspiring creativity and fostering a love for music. We highly recommend School of Rock Wakefield for any aspiring musician.
There is a real sense of community. They create a space for creative kids to be themselves and listen to what the kids are interested in.
What a fabulous community at the Wakefield SOR, my son calls it his second home. The faculty at Wakefield are professional, touring musicians, who are superb at growing confidence and competence. They offer excellent instruction, and have high standards but are really fun, compassionate individuals. Great role models.
Unfair and whilst going I never felt very welcomed

We love SOR! They are so supportive of new beginners, have great communication with the parents, and really push the kids out of their comfort zones to help them grow!
School of Rock Attleboro is an amazing place for kids who want to learn to play music. Whether it be an instrument like drums, keys, guitar or vocals, you can’t go wrong with School of Rock. The performance programs are a great way to learn how to work with others, make new friends, and be able to put on an amazing show after about 4 months of working together. Joining School of Rock Attleboro 3 years ago was the best decision for my daughter. The amazing staff and owner have instilled so much confidence in her and we will be forever thankful for the positive impact they have had on her! Dave, Kim and their team are the best!
My daughter is learning electric guitar and has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons with Chris. He’s very passionate about his music and encourages his students to do well. Highly recommend SOR – everyone is friendly and easy to work with.
A bit pricey but fantastic teaching methods
Cool place

School of Rock has become a huge part of my son’s life. He loves that he’s found others that share his passion for music. In addition to participating in lessons, performance group and house band, he and some of his SOR friends have formed their own band.
They have been amazing. Always a positive experience when we are there. My daughter is learning so much, so quickly. She has fun all while learning. During Covid they make sure masks, distancing and hygenine guidelines are followed. Definitely worth every penny
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!
