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.
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.
I have been learning electric guitar here for 2 years best session of my people here are so nice and helpful

Our kids had a blast at School of Rock camp with Mark, Celine, and Hannah. I cannot recommend this method and team enough! our kids had no real music experience and came out of the camp excited to learn more and hone their new skills as music lovers. Thank you!
My son loves the format, can’t recommend this method enough, he’s very engaged and enthusiastic about going to lessons! The owner Mark and his employees are very nice and accommodating to my son and I. We highly recommend School of Rock Burlington!
School of Rock

Our son had a fantastic experience this summer. The program exceeded our expectations by far. We will be back again for sure!
My son started here in 2015. His love and passion for music has grown so much!! The instructors and staff care deeply about their students and are extremely patient. If you have a chance, check out any Schools of Rock, you won’t be disappointe.
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

The lessons are great, but combining the lessons with playing as a group reinforces what I learn in the lessons and has taught me so much more. The best part of the school is the staff. Everyone who I have worked with is knowledgeable, friendly and patient. I have taken informal lessons from friends and formal lessons at another school, but I never made as much progress as I have at the School of Rock Norwood/Walpole.
School of Rock is not just for kickstarting grade schoolers into a terrific musical experience. My special needs son is really enjoying his weekly instructions with Matt at the Norwood school. And the staff is really great at making my son feel right at home.
Great teachers.
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!
Greenwood Music Camp
Address: 32 Harlow Rd, Cummington, MA 01026, United States , Shklowski Rayon , Massachusetts , United States
Never been a place like this. Best camp evah! You know who I am and I WILL DESTROY YOU at ping-pong
It’s truly a very Greenwood. We play music and also music and there’s music. Don’t go if you don’t like music because this camp is very music. If you play violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, or horn, then you should Greenwood because Greenwood is Greenwood. Don’t come expecting to see green wood, because you will not find any. However there is music and also real life among us on the last week. I met people at Greenwood. They are all very.
I had a fantastic time here on a fall retreat with the Harvard Glee Club! This music camp is wonderfully isolated from the rest of the world and instead surrounds you with beautiful greenery. The practice halls are very homely, and the living accommodations are quite decent. Would definitely love to visit again.
this place took nico from me
Bach to Rock
Address: 200 Linden St A, Wellesley, MA 02482, United States , Shklowski Rayon , Massachusetts , United States
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.
Great instructors!
Kid friendly classes in all instruments with many time choices
Powers Music School
Address: 160 Lexington St, Belmont, MA 02478, United States , Shklowski Rayon , Massachusetts , United States
My 5 year old boy signed up the high five piano class this fall semester and he really loves the class. The teacher is very friendly and patient, and the class is a good intro of music and piano to kids. In addition, School offers study materials and no need to purchase textbook yourself. Great starting point for children’s music life!
Enjoying Music Pups, songs are addictive
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!
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.
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!
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
Brookline Music School
Address: 25 Kennard Rd, Brookline, MA 02445, United States , Shklowski Rayon , Massachusetts , United States
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!
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. 🙂
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!!)
Berklee College of Music

我做梦也没有想到伯克利音乐学院被王源的粉丝刷屏了
Excellent school but TERRIBLE concert hall with shameful acoustics for such famous performers.
안에 못들어가는거같아요
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?!
