My kids have gotten a ton out of the programs at this school. I signed them up and liked being there so much that I took keys lessons, too! So awesome! Great vibe, great staff, clean, cool place to hang out and gain musical confidence and skills. Thomas puts his whole heart into his students and the whole staff cares so much about the kids.
I used to sing a lot as a little girl and up into high school, but then I got married and life got busy. I was looking for a place to get my vocal skills back, and I found it here. The open-mic nights are laid-back and there is a ton of fresh talent. I’m so grateful to have found such a good musical community to be a part of.
The owner of this location, Thomas is one amazing individual! He and his staff and extremely passionate about music and teaching others. This location is an inspirational place to be no matter what age, skill level, instrument or genre you may want to learn, they will give you the knowledge to create music all while making it fun and understanding how to work with different types of learners.
School of Rock
Address: 560 S Holly St #15, Denver, CO 80246 , Shaw Heights , Colorado , United States
competent creative teachers and helpful front desk team
Speaking as both a former student and current instructor at the Boulder, this school is filled with great people and talented instructors, and provides a comfortable, safe environment for kids to learn how to rock. Performance-based music education is hands down the best way to learn how to play an instrument, and the friends I have made through the School of Rock program will no doubt be lifelong.
I am new to the School of Rock but have enjoyed my experience so far. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and really seems to be a big, happy family. My bass teacher, Karl, is great. He’s always ready with a new challenge and helpful tips to keep me moving onward and upward!
**Editing this review WAY up from 1 star because this School has undergone some MAJOR changes in the last 6 months! There is NEW management, there are some FABULOUS (and also new) instructors, and everything is just looking amazing for this place. I’m grateful and relieved that we stuck it out through a challenging time — this is an amazing place for our kid (He has been playing here for 4 years now).
I fully expect to be able to bump this review up to 5 stars over the next several months.
This place used to be fabulous with great instructors who were trained in teaching kids – not just in playing. Over the past six months almost all of those teachers (who are still shown on the website) have left. The operations of the place have gone downhill and the newer instructors are a much lower caliber. It is disappointing to give a mediocre rating, as this place used to be great and my kids loved it. I hope they can turn things around.
Our daughter has grown as a musician while taking lessons and participating in performance groups. Our highlight so far has been performing at The Fox theater in Boulder. Next up…Red Rocks!
We had a poor experience with the staff at the Boulder School of Rock. I understand that they have had a lot of turnover recently, Lessons were cancelled last minute and there were problems with payments. I would not recommend it to anyone.
They aren’t helping families who can’t afford to pay for lessons during this pandemic and not only that but they are still applying their 30 day notice for canceling your classes so they families who can’t afford it still have to pay for those 30 days no matter what. This is just not cool and shows they don’t care about their students and their families.
School of Rock Highlands Ranch
Address: 9265 S Broadway #200, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129 , Shaw Heights , Colorado , United States
We are so thrilled with School of Rock in Highlands Ranch. My 7 year old son has been going here for just over 2 months now, learning drums. He’s learned so so so much in the short time he’s been there, and he’s loved every minute of it. The owners are so supportive of all the kids, and his personal instructor Christian is absolutely amazing with him.

My daughter is in the School of Rock program with Mr. Jessi and she loves it. I love that he comes to her school and holds class there with the students who have enrolled. I believe the class is ages 3-6 and he is able to hold their attention, engages them and gets them interested in a variation of music. I don’t think they realize how much they are learning, they are just having fun. It also means a lot to me that my daughter has a richly diverse ear for all types of music and gets to hear classic rock, rock, oldies…. and a lot of the greats that have changed and shaped our culture. We hope to continue on to private guitar lessons, as that’s where her interest is and we will definitely do it at School of Rock. Thanks guys!
My girls are in Rock 101 and love it. I like that they have rehearsals every week for as well as private lessons. I like getting feedback from the teachers too when they are done with their private lessons. I would definitely recommend School of Rock. Staff is amazing as well!
My daughter goes here for vocal training and been coming here for a while. She is getting so much exciting experience and the fees are well worth it. I recommend this location.
I really like my instructor and the school is friendly. But there are two things that are not to my liking: lessons are too short at 45 minutes and you have to give 24 hours notice if you miss band or a lesson or you have to forfeit the fee for that lesson. That is fair but if your lesson or band is on Monday and they are closed over the weekend, there’s no way to give them enough notice. Some of the rules they have are inflexible and only benefit the school, not the students.
Great place for kids! Lessons offered at regular times and days make it easy for parents. Friendly staff, convenient locations.
