School of Rock West Hartford has been an amazing experience for my 11 year old son. He is quite shy but has always loved music and playing guitar. The performance aspect of School of Rock has really allowed him to showcase his talent while also meeting other kids and working with his bandmates. He gained a ton of confidence. The staff is always super helpful and encouraging – highly recommended.
Another parent highly recommended the School of Rock for my musical 15-year-old. We have only been at the School of Rock West Hartford for 1 season, and it has been an amazing experience – we are looking forward to the concert for each band to showcase all their hard work and talent! My son is not a die-hard sports kid (although he has been on several teams at school); he really loves music, plays piano and sax.
Being in a band takes the band members to a new level in their musical development/performance…it provides experience working in a “team” environment, offers opportunities for introverted kids to step outside their comfort zone with peers who possess similar interests and form new friendships, and helps band members gain confidence and self-esteem.
The School of Rock West Hartford is conveniently located a few minutes off I-84 next to Blue Back Square and has free parking at the facility.
Upon entering School of Rock, you can hear the band practicing, the energy of the staff is very positive, and the band members sound like they are having a great time together in the student waiting room. My son loves the passion and encouragement of all his instructors, who make the private lesson as well as the band practice a fun, engaging, educational and enriching experience every time. The band members encourage each other also. Through the instructors own musical training as well as the School of Rock performance methodology, they quickly learn their band member/students’ strengths and areas for opportunity and make them feel like they are an important part of the band. I love how the instructors make each band member feel like a real rock star.
I highly recommend the School of Rock experience!
100% recommend. This is way beyond just learning the chords or the notes – The instructors are so passionate about ensuring the students have a fun, enriching experience, that my son comes home excited, confident, and inspired from every lesson and band rehearsal. They take great pains to get to know the kids and their strengths and opportunities, you really feel like you’re part of the band.
School of rock, Rocks!!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place!!! My daughter always leaves with a smile on her face as they make it such a positive place to learn music. They truly exceeded my expectations and I am so happy my daughter goes here.
The staff is great! They work on a large variety of music so there is something for everyone. My son has loved being able to try different instruments and putting a whole song together with others.
I’m really loving the experience of learning to play with others in a performance method. After too many years of practicing all by myself, I’m developing the skill to play with others. I’m in my 50’s, so this isn’t just for kids, the adult band practice is great. If only I had access to this type of training and exposure to like minded people as a kid!
