I have been learning electric guitar here for 2 years best session of my people here are so nice and helpful
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.
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.

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!
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!

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.
This has been the best decision I’ve made for my daughter! She started by joining a week long summer camp and decided she wanted to be a drummer! Three years later she’s been up on stage (a few times a year) at The Met in RI performing for 100s of people! She absolutely loves it. The owner and staff make everyone feel like family. Watching how they interact with each other really makes you feel like your walking into something special. AND everyone there is unbelievably talented. All you have to do is ask what they do outside of SoR and the stories and experiences are incredible! And to think my daughter’s instructor is the drummer in an internationally known speed metal band! What?! So cool. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Our music teacher Chris is awesome. The staff is helpful and everyone seems to care about helping people realize their inner musician. Great balance of playing music, technique, and theory.
Cool place
A bit pricey but fantastic teaching methods

We highly recommend the Rock 101 camp at School of Rock in Norwood. For the second year in a row, our son had a blast choosing a band name and set list and learning new songs for the end of week performance. The kids and teachers encourage each other and clearly have fun while learning a lot!
My daughter takes voice, drums, keys, and performance group at SOR. She has also done camps and a song writing workshop, and I can’t say enough about how amazing all of the teachers are. Having lessons combined with performance group is exactly what she needed to push herself musically, and it’s what sets this school apart from others because these are not just music lessons, it’s truly a music education. The environment is also extremely welcoming and it’s great to see so many different types of kids being themselves and working together in the safe space SOR has created for music lovers.
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!
