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.
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.

The instructors are experienced professional musicians who also have a love of teaching. They are so invested in the development of their students as is evident by their passion and enthusiasm. It’s clear that they love their jobs. It has become my son’s home away from home. He spends several hours per week there and would spend more if he could! It’s worth the 40 min drive each way. The school has top of line rehearsal rooms and equipment. The program is designed for beginners, intermediate or seasoned musicians. There is a challenge at every level and your child will acquire the skills to be able to take advantage of the many seasonal performance programs and even audition for their resident house band when they are ready. In summary, top notch instructors, environment and program! Can’t recommend it enough.
Very professional!
We did some camps this summer and it was a GREAT experience! My child who plays guitar and loves 80s rock music was able to play music HE likes with students on other instruments. Learning to listen to and time his playing with other people is crucial to his development as a musician but his school bands don’t offer music he likes. He also tried out some different genres and found an appreciation for them, plus the confidence to try out for a jazz band. The staff is kind and welcoming, making it a safe space to be themselves. Definitely a 10/10!!!
Unfair and whilst going I never felt very welcomed
School of Rock

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!
Amazing staff where everyone feels like family!! I highly recommend checking the out and becoming part of the rockin’ Family at SOR!!
Amazing
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!

My daughter loves rock music and it is fun to see her following her passion. Being in a band has given her an opportunity to learn about the importance of commitment; how to work as a group; and that each person’s contribution is valuable. She has gained more confidence in herself. She has recently started taking private lessons at Bach 2 Rock with her Rock Band teacher. The one on one time is helping her grow in her instrument.
My daughter loved this place from the first time. She wanted also do summer camp there. Teachers are very knowledgeable and caring. Front desk helpful and amazing. Totally recommend it
Powers Music School
Address: 160 Lexington St, Belmont, MA 02478 , Rzozów , Massachusetts , United States
We love the music pops (for infants and toddlers). The teacher is very nice and good at motivating parents and children to sing and dance together. We love the songs. Listening to the songs and singing them in the car with our daughter in the car everyday is such a great fun! We have attended two sessions. Highly recommend this class for parents with infants and/or children aged up to 4!
Enjoying Music Pups, songs are addictive
We get to know this wonderful school by attending their storytelling concert at library. I’m impressed by the professional performance, so I register my kid for the Music pups class. Both of us love this class a lot. The teacher Jennifer is awesome. She’s very passionate and knows how to engage everyone in the class. Both of my kid and I enjoyed sing and dance with her in the class. It helped us build a good memory that will last a long time. And I also learned some music that I could sing to my child in the future. I highly recommend this class to anyone that have babies / toddlers.
I have taken all 4 of my children to Music Pups at Powers over the years. We love it! The older kids still sing the songs.
They are not helpful they waste my money didn’t helped me for that i paid whole summer tuition but we couldn’t get more than 2 classes because of their misunderstanding and they did nothing for that !!!!!!!!
I Hate it so much
I bought a whole session piano class for my niece and then the course was not sufficient so her mom decided to drop but they did not allow for a refund. When she called them to postpone remaining classes for next season they said its okay but asked for extra money from her. Very disappointed. Money is gone without my niece taking any valuable classes!
Brookline Music School
Address: 25 Kennard Rd, Brookline, MA 02445 , Rzozów , Massachusetts , United States
I took voice lessons here with Bethany as did my 13 year old son. It’s not easy to teach an adult and a teenager but, somehow she did it! It was a great experience. We both loved it here. My son would beg me to take him each week! Very highly recommend it here for any type of music instruction.
They were always punctual, polite and reasonably priced here. 🙂
Love music connections kids rock band class! My 4 year old is so excited to go each week and try her hand at the keyboard, electric guitar and drums. Troy and Darren are fantastic!
We could not be happier with the music instruction our kids get at the Music Connection. Bethany is an amazingly talented voice instructor but she is also a fabulous teacher. To watch her work with kids…magic! Nat is a patient clarinet instructor to our young child that amazingly has taken to learning this instrument along with a bit of piano too. He inspired her so much that she brought him in for show and tell! (the 4/5 star is only because the space itself could use some fixing up but the Bethany and Nat deserve 5/5 stars and more!!)
All Newton Music School Inc

This music school is impressive and clearly focuses on quality music education. They have served the Newton area for many years.
I go there with Ken!
The school AMAZING and the teachers are very nice even when you had issues the people with problems with the school just had a bad experience. I think the school is an amazing place to learn great music.
Hi! I used ANMS for music class last year, 2 weeks of camp last year and for their kindergarten Xylophone School during this past school year. If I had an easy child, I am sure it would have been a good program, but my child is a bit challenging but is sweet, smart and well- behaved.. He did ok with the camp. I found out during xylophone class my child was being disruptive the first half of the year and not participating the 2nd half of the year. What really annoys me is that there was no communication with me the Mom. If a student is having trouble for an extended period of time, the parent should be contacted and a plan created.
I was told, well its only a 45 minute group class and the teacher is busy. Well, that is unacceptable without proper parent communication, expectations could not be set. My 6 year old now has no interest in instrumental music.
Also, during last year’s music class i was called to pick up my child because he could stop crying…Well, turns out he had a small cut near his eye and needed 3 stitches. He was injured by the sharp edge of the whiteboard. Instead of looking at his face, the teacher was annoyed that he was crying.
I ended up asking for a partial refund because it was clear that my son was not prepared for the end of the year performance and he is a lot happier now. They also have a draconian refund policy. I understand that this is a school but they are so money hungry that they are inflexible.
If you have that perfect child, this school may work well for you. If you have a more mature student this may be the school for you. But beware.

My grandson three weeks before leaving was sent a notice that he had to pay $30,000 before he could come to the school. Had already paid his monies he was told he needed up front. He was crushed and so were we. Why would this not be made clear up front?!
