Top-8 of music camp in Saint Michaels

Best decision we’ve made for our sons musical interests. I am amazed every time my son gets on his drum kit! He has grown leaps and bounds with his ability and confidence! Love SOR!!!

SOR Columbia has been a phenomenal experience for my daughter the last 7 years. The music director and general manager are better than ever. The school’s leaders and teachers are passionate about what they do. SORC is a welcoming home away from home for all kids. Kids can not only learn to become great musicians, but also to be part of a band and a team. They learn responsibility, compromise and to listen to each other. ❤️

I started my 9-year-old son here about 7 months ago and he has already performed on stage! He has developed a love for music and the instructors helped ignite his passion. They are patient and keep the rehearsals fun. My son is developing into a great little guitar player thanks to the wonderful staff!

First let me start off by saying, the teachers at Columbia SOR are amazing and my daughter had such an amazing time in vocal classes with Gideon & Zack and Keys classes with Alex and Colin. And we really, really wanted it to work out but the administration at this branch of SOR was absolutely abysmal. The pervasive disorganization, cancelled lessons (sometimes on the same day), constantly shifting schedules, inconsistencies in which teacher we would have from week to week overshadowed whatever benefit my daughter was getting from the highly professional teachers at Columbia SOR. It made us very sad to leave the school because my daughter really made a connection with and loved working with her teachers and we really tried to put up with the mismanagement at the Columbia SOR. But ultimately the mismanagement was too much to bear. If Columbia SOR gets their act together, it could be a great place to learn music. However, at this time, I would not recommend spending your money there, which is a shame because the teachers really are great.

My experience is with Siohban Beckett. She inserted herself into a situation at work, based on a rumor from her friend and her own personal prejudice, that started an investigation. When nothing was found, she escalated the rumors, sending messages to her friends on social media, with the full intent of having someone fired. Based on the screenshots of her messages, Siohban Beckett’s own credibility was damaged. She left after one performance night.

Hi guys ! Please save your money and time and do
NOT go to this place . My daughter had an appointment and my mother in law took my daughter showed them the confirmation email with the time and date that they sent . The staff stated that the appointment time was wrong , even though it came from them . I reluctantly reschedule my appointment and they sent an email and again this happens . Just please don’t go here staff is very unprofessional . I would give no stars if I could .

My son is a drummer and joined to apply his years of lessons into a real band situation that the other music lesson place did not offer. He LOVES it. Staff are fantastic and he has made some great friends here too! Highly recommend.

My five year old loved the school! She feels like a rock star 🙂

Our child is thrilled going to DC School of Rock. Now he wants to go every day. The attention that he gets is unbelievable. Thank you so much to Chris and his team for delivering marvelous experience for our kids. Keep up the great work!

Owner contacted me about working there, was rude and inconsiderate on the phone. Very disappointing.

Beware! While the program might be interesting, the Cleveland Park location is poorly run and it will bring you more headaches than benefits.

This camp was an amazing experience for my children. They met new friends, while being in a safe and fun filled environment for the summer. The academics kept them engaged so that when they went back to school they didn’t have to have a refresher course for the past year. I totally recommend this camp and my children can’t wait to return.

Camp Rock is an excellent place to send your children! All the right tools are here to bring kids up to the next level in all aspects! Highly Recommended!

Lots of activities the kids really liked.

Poor customer service, and little more than a landing page for a website. No ability to remit a deposit or payment online. In 2021…

I spent 4 weeks calling their “office” on the days they are open (clearly this is a moonlighting gig that someone is running off the side of their desk on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and leaving messages after attending their open house.

Last week, I finally got through and spoke to the director. After being put on hold 3 times over the course of a 15 min call, I found out that they still had open spots for summer camp. I then asked if they had experience with gender nonconforming children, and she got very quiet. I was then told “we do not have any experience with ‘that sort of thing'”. 2 days later we received a letter in the mail, informing us that their “board” had rejected us.
Praise Jesus Christ for his tollerance and mercy, and let the proprietor’s someday find him and his grace.

Unfortunately, my son will never try it because we were told different things. No accountability and no supervisor available. It just is what it is and I’m glad I got this treatment at first before money was paid. Because we’ve been through too much already to deal with this. And it resulted in him never being placed in the camp. Less than 12 hours ago I was promised a spot then later on I was told they have a very long wait list and won’t accept campers. How ghetto lol… we are attending CAMP SONSHINE INSTEAD. Which has more activities and they are ALL included for less. I just hate the unprofessional dismissive and rude thing when dealing with people. A reply was sent to me about a family restitution program I know nothing about that and the payment is made directly with cash the behavior was unprofessional and ethical and working in such a manner will not sustain a healthy business relationship community relationship I have a good rapport with the community I did speak to someone else they also had a bad experience prior to enrolling and if they knew they were booked since June they should not have giving me false information. Nonetheless I’m very grateful and I’m thankful that God saw fit for us to be somewhere else that I know is gonna be a lot more professional and deal with me accordingly. The reply that was given was more of a passive dismissive reply and it does not fit the situation that is going on with me or that happened to me. And I’m just learning that it’s a nonprofit organization yet the price is ridiculous and they have volunteers and they charge $35 for less than an hour of a horseback ride which you can get a lot less expensive and you can buy packages at the horse stable and the JCC camp does the same if not more and better things for anybody that wants to stay local And they have several horseback riding camp that you can get a larger discount and not pay so much per day just to ride a horse $35 is ridiculous however I still wanted to give it a try based on some of the reviews I’m not sure if the reviews come from family church members or friends but I highly doubt that they are all honest .

The best music school ever. I would give 10 stars if possible. My daughter started because she was a very shy kid and all attention and care of the teacher made her a much more happier and self-confident child. Music can make magic on someone life. Now beside a happy kid, I listen to awesome guitar music as bonus! Thank you so much School of Rock Alexandria!

Welcoming and supportive staff. Instructors are professional and positive with the kids. We love the performance aspect & that the kids are able to work together as a band. Highly recommend!

We have 100% appreciated how hard School of Rock has worked to open and keep classes on schedule this last Covid year. The method app has been a good way to communicate assignments and keep my teen boy on track. Thanks all for the good work and even better concerts!
