Absolutely incredible program! Every instructor has been so impressive! Not only are they passionate about music, you can tell that they’re passionate about working with kids and keeping rock alive! Our family appreciates their dedication and their tremendous skill.
My daughter has learned so much from School of Rock. She started classes in-person for drumming with Patrick and David for rock 101 pre-Covid and continued virtually post pandemic. What is remarkable is the teachers’ consistent and adaptive teaching technique which was tested during Covid. Her desire to learn more has only increased and she has progressed so much these past several months. Kudos to these amazing instructors!
My son LOVES Jimmy and the drum kit instructions and music recommendations he receives from Jimmy. My son has not been this enthusiastic about drumming in a few years — it is wonderful to see!

My grandson Logan has been taking keyboard for about a year and voice for about 6 months. He loves it and loves learning. He wants to add electric guitar next.He loves preforming both his keys and singing on stage with his band members.
Best youth music program! Leslie and her staff are the best.
Terrible for adult vocal lessons, for around 300 bucks you do weekly lessons and band rehearsal, despite the price tag my instructor was clearly not qualified and seemed unsure of herself, was also rude. Scolded me at the beginning of my paid lesson time, had me seeing red, yet unable to leave because I still had to do the lesson, which I was paying a lot of money for. They make you cancel a month in advance and when I did, rehearsal with the group band got awkward, one of the band members told me not to “feel pressured to show up anymore” which came across as don’t show up. anyways with regards to the band I came in at a time when all I was allowed to do was watch if I wanted to rehearse a song I would have to pay for another month and the song had to be one that they approved of. The worst part is I still live in the same town so I’ll see them around from time. I honestly wished I had never signed up to begin with. I had high hopes for school of rock and was left severely disappointed.
This place may seem incredible; however, I found out that the instructor entertains the kids with the new version of Hangman Game; the Astronaut Game, during my daughter’s music class. I understand that children need a little break (however, this is not a school with study hours, this is a 30-minute class); however, I can’t fully agree to play it for a while and not even for a whole class; this is unbelievable !!! Also, I was paying for a music class and not for babysitting. Well, I made my complaint, and this is what I got: “I should change my daughter to a different level because she is too mature for the class.” On top of that, they also told me that she was lying about it. Very disappointed with this place.

Very cool school. My granddaughter loves her voice instructor Rachel. Open house tomorrow 2/26/22
Jared (the GM) is so accommodating and all the instructors make this such a fun experience for both my boys (keys and bass guitar). There is a reason why this School of Rock in Carmichael is the popular and (thankfully) expanding to take the entire building space.
Just completed our orientation visit and we loved it! So much so that our daughter is practicing the keyboard now and I think I’ll start coming in to brush up on drums.
My disabled partner was looking for something fun to do in-between speech therapies and physical therapies. He needed something to take his mind off of things, something that may also be therapeutic. So, we decided to schedule a singing lesson at the school of rock. His speech therapist agreed, it was a great idea.
Hi appointment was scheduled for May 27 at 10:30am. They asked us to arrive at 10:15am. We planned the days schedule around the appointment. We showed up at 10:15am, as instructed. When we arrived they told my partner the vocal instructor had called in sick. They had been open since 9am yet they didn’t bother to call or email to cancel. They offered to reschedule for the following Saturday. We agreed.
Again they said to arrive at 10:15am for a 10:30 appointment on June 3rd. Again we planed our schedule around the appointment. However, around noon on the 2nd we received an email saying the appointment had been moved to 11:30am on the 3rd due to a staffing issue. We thought “Okay, well at least they contacted us in advance this time.”
We rearranged our schedule for the day. We arrived at 11:15am for an 11:30am appointment, as requested. Again they said someone didn’t show up, they didn’t have enough staff to cover the appointment.
I asked the person at the front desk why they hadn’t contacted us in advance for either cancellation. Their first response was to pass the buck and say “I don’t know I’m only here on Saturdays.” Perhaps this person isn’t payed enough to take responsibility for anything. Perhaps they aren’t payed enough to put in any amount of effort and make the situation right. I don’t know. I can only speculate. After some disingenuous apologies, an ear full of excuses, and no offer to make the situation right, we left unsatisfied.
The bottom line:
This company hasn’t any semblance of courtesy, consideration, reliability or professionalism. They wouldn’t know customer service if it bit them in their bass.
Would give zero stars it would let me. Scheduled my 9 year old daughter’s drum lesson over phone. She was very excited! Showed up and they had not Scheduled her, drum instructor was gone for the day, and they had no idea what happened? Unbelievably unprofessional, and worst of all, I had to look at the disappointment on my daughter’s face. I thought this was going to be a positive situation for her, instead they let her down.
