We are consistently blown away with what School of Rock teaches these kids!! Not only do they teach them to rock and play their instruments/music, but they create an incredibly cool and awesome community. Leave every performance in total amazement!

Bringing our kid to the School of Rock was one of our best decisions. Well-invested money. The instructors know how to play and how to teach playing instruments. Drums, guitars, vocals, keys. Awesome. Highly recommended.

Both of our children love attending Right At School. Seeing my sons growth in playing drums, as well as my daughters progress with Piano demonstrates the quality on the method of the instructors teaching at School of Rock. The environment is fun and joyful. I would highly recommend School of Rock Elmhurst to everyone.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. My daughter won’t stop talking about it. Great space, everyone is friendly and I love the vibe.

Wish a few teachers had a little more training in controlling kids. Some kids like to take control of the class and a couple teachers are too gentle in calling them. It effects class time for others.

Very unprofessional.

My son has been drumming here for almost 3 years. We will be continuing for many more. It is a place where kids can learn and appreciate music…rock music! If your child has any interest in being a first class rocker, you’ve got to check it out

School of Rock is the best! I recommend this school to anyone with a passion for music.

I live in las vegas. But have recently been viewing videos from chicagos school of rock.and have turned some friends n family on to . and we are huge avid watchers of it all. And simply love everything about the whole concept and general overall of the whole thing and nothing but the thing. School of Rock friggin rocks man.

Amazing teachers. I even fill in for guitar classes when my son can’t make it. Teacher Sam is awesome. He helps my son with his musical taste and never steers him wrong.

My son will be better than me in no time if he sticks to it.

Great work SoR!

My 8 year old son continues to have great experiences at the school while learning to play the . Staff and instructors are friendly and helpful, thank you!

Everything – the kids, instructors & staff are all great. Just a fun, safe environment for kids to rock.

Disappointing. I have two kids there. They decided to switch my kids lesson whither I liked it or not, because her teacher was needed elsewhere. They were having her teacher teach a group class. So they inconvenienced us to make more money whither we liked it or not.

My other child is in group kids class, it doesn’t seem like he’s learning anything. He spent one day drawing a picture of drums and played no music. It’s more like music themed daycare than music lessons. Classes start late every week.

I was using SoR in Elmhurst. They rarely had the same teacher from week to week, at least there each kid got to play their own instruments for the class. My scheduled changed and they don’t have Sat classes. Usually with the franchisee model things are held together a lot better.

It’s too bad because I like the model where kids play together.

Staff is great and really know how to keep kids excited about learning and playing music.

We love everything about this place. Both our boys are students. And we love our School of Rock Chicago West community.
They get the kids playing real songs at real shows in real venues very quickly, which is a great way to learn music and build confidence.
Private lessons help build technique, and ensemble classes teach cooperation, responsibility, and showmanship. And it’s all done in a fun, mutually supportive atmosphere.
The staff are very kind, accommodating, and welcoming. And it’s just so much fun to see young musicians grow in ability and confidence.
Send your aspiring musician here!

Great place to learn how to really enjoy and play great music.

Awesome place to learn and better yourself as a musician! Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and great at inspiring the students to learn music! The School of Rock method is streamlined through professional means to keep that consistency with the successful franchise. The location is very clean, easy to navigate, decor is elevated all around and COVID-19 precautions were in place when it was needed most, still optionable I believe at request. Learning music can inspire confidence for somebody of any age, it’s invaluable and although it could be very tough to learn instruments it can be very fufilling, very good for the brain as well! I myself have taken lessons in the past from private teachers all the way through college level classes and having the system in place is highly effective, curtailed to modern technology like apps. Pricing is reasonable, the skills for life are worth unpinching any penny. What would I change? Perhaps building a small stage to lift drums off floor in band rooms, T.V in the back lobby, more soundproofing including foam, diffusion and although this is more of a franchise suggestion, adding music studio/production/recording elements to the mix! Also, more raises for the drum teachers!! Great location!

Our son has had a really great time learning music here. The staff is wonderful and we are pleased we signed him up here!

School of Rock Arlington Hights is just awesome! They have great instructors who make the lessons fun while teaching kids their craft. Everyone at SOR Arlington Heights is very professional, helpful and there is a real, fun Family atmosphere. Best decision we made was to sign up our kids there! Rock On!

The school provides interesting programs that have the kids actively making music.

They do an excellent job trying to ensure the student experience is a positive and rich one. My daughter loves her instructor.

listened at the show at the library, very good.

Our really likes that he can learn at his own pace without judgement or pressure.

My daughter enjoys every second of her time at SOR Mokena and it has been the bright spot of her week since she started. The staff are extremely accommodating and really have it together despite the challenges this year has thrown their way. Nate is the absolute best guitar instructor and my daughter has already learned so much in her short time at the school. She’s been exposed to a lot of music, both new and old, and her confidence has exploded as her skills have grown. We love it here!

Live this place. Friendly and great to work with.

Summer Camp is so much fun for my guitarist! It brings out the little rockstar in her. I love the energy of the teachers and how they inspire the kids to do their best! I would give it 5 out of 5 stars, but the cost is high for lessons and camp.

My son was in the Little Wings program when he was 5 then progressed to the Rookies program now that he is 6 and is excited to go each week. I love that they have two levels of classes for the younger kids who are so excited about joining School of Rock. The two levels allows for room for different skill levels among the kids that are too young to join the regular SOR programs. In those classes he has been able to play all the rock instruments instead of having to choose just one. He has really loves both of his instructors. They really treat the kids with respect and like they are truly training to be rockers. We also enjoy all shows put on by the older kids. Very well done SOR Naperville!!

My daughter loves School of Rock. She not only learns how to play an instrument but also how to play it in a rock band onstage. It’s been a great confidence booster for her and a joy for me to see her growing and playing.

School of Rock Naperville is an amazing place. My son started with a summer camp which really got him jazzed about playing the bass. He has done performance groups, house bands and had wonderful experiences with all of the above. His skills have grown so much and his private teachers have been just fantastic. The owner of SOR has been very accommodating and customer focused. The manager, Joanna has also worked hard to make it a great place to learn to play music. She is a real rock star and really relates well to the students (as well as the parents). I highly recommend SOR — it’s a wonderful place to get kids/teens inspired about music.

This is a fun-filled and energy-filled place. It’s a great afters-long-school-day activity for the kids to follow. When they need to run off some of their bottled-up energy into something productive yet fun: Not too structured, not too sitting down without moving.

My 10-year old son had been a student at SOR Naperville for over two years. At 8 1/2, after begging him to practice and play piano for 3 years, I finally asked, “What instrument would you be willing to practice? The answer, “drums”. This prompted us to enroll him in private lessons which eventually led to Rock 101. Since then, he has performed in 3 live shows and he considers SOR his home away from home. We have seen him gain so much self-confidence and a sense of who he is from this experience. Their approach to learning is unique and builds a community of artists and creates an outlet for kids who otherwise would not have one.

Living in a community like Naperville, kids are fortunate to be exposed to so many different activities at a very young age. Like many families, we started out in soccer and Tball with our son. It became clear early on that team sports was not his “groove” and that he would have to find someplace else to excel. We would never have guessed at that time that it would be School of Rock. Their approach to learning music motivates kids to practice and improve so that they do not let down their “team” of musicians and so that they are ready to perform on their performance date. Taking both a group and private lesson each week really increases their retention and confidence.

He has not only learned the drums and bass guitar, but he is now begging us for vocal lessons! We knew SOR was the right place for him when on a 3rd grade writing assignment he wrote, ” I feel most at home at School of Rock.” “I love to stay late after my lesson and read my book while I wait for my Mom”. To know that our son feels like he fits in and that he feels so comfortable there is very reassuring to us. Each of his coaches has encouraged and motivated him differently and he respects that they all are live performers and can speak from their experience on stage.

We feel like part of the School of Rock Naperville family and are proud to say so! The owner and manager have always been grateful for our business, accommodated all of our scheduling requests and taken great care of our son!

Have had rather negative experiences here with the instructors and overall learning environment. Will need to look elsewhere.

My daughter loves SoR-Geneva! The instructors are young and connect with the kids. My daughter looks so forward to her three-hour-one-night-per-week band practice and wishes they could get together more often!
She also enjoys her private coach and even asks to cut our vacation time short so she can get back for her SoR days! SoR is organized and as a parent, I appreciate their daily communication via email. My daughter performed in her first SoR show this past weekend and it truly was the highlight of her 16 years of life! Thank you SoR – Geneva!

Our 15 year old son took an interest in learning guitar. We reached out to Geneva School of Rock and were welcomed right into their community. Chase has made my son’s introduction to guitar such a positive and fun experience. My son felt an immediate connection to Chase and he is progressing along pretty quickly. Chases encouraging, supportive and genuine teaching style has cemented our son’s interest in this new venture. We are so grateful to have found, not only a great instructor but someone who has so positively influenced and validated our sons interest and desire to learn about music and guitar.

AWESOME place!! My son started here about a month ago, and he loves it. We’re already a musical home, and he was already a music fan, but he lights up when he enters the door, because he knows it’s time to make some noise and have some fun. Thank you SOR for all that you do for these kids.

OVERPRICED & lacking for an inadequate musical education. Staff is inappropriate to teach children. My kid got hurt there due to the sloppiness. Owner & staff didn’t seem to care or take his injuries seriously. They just want you to pay, but don’t know what they’re doing in terms of tending to kids needs or teaching the fundamentals of music. I won’t be trusting my kids alone with them in the future.

Not what you need if you want to have your child to learn the fundamentals of music, learn how to become a better musician, improve on their instrument. No this is not that place. if your child wants to just “jam out” and play whatever along with other students of (somewhat) similar musical level then you’ll find that here.

Inept management and an absentee owner that couldn’t care less about the well being of the students. There inability to effectively communicate and problem solve made it a nightmare to work there. The students are fantastic and the staff is good too. Poor management that needs to be replaced. I would highly suggest looking into private lessons elsewhere.

We have had a wonderful experience at School of Rock! Our children have grown as musicians and performers. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Our son has been taking drum lessons at SOR for the past two years. The instructors are great and they create a productive and fun learning environment for the kids. Highly recommend them.

I’m so glad I joined School of Rock! The camaraderie of my band mates and the non judgmental attitudes, (especially since I’m doing this for fun and this is my first time) has put me at ease and made me feel very welcome. The staff is great too and want to see me succeed. I always look forward to my band rehearsals and private voice lessons. These are the highlight of my week!

School of Rock has drastically changed my outlook on music and team work. You realize just how much fun it is playing in a group or in front of an audience, and not just in your bedroom. I’m so glad I signed up for vocal lessons, and so glad I got the teacher I did. Everyone here is extremely friendly, and it really feels like a family. I would recommend School of Rock to any musician, aspiring or even professional, purely for the fact that this place makes my day and makes me a better musician.

One of my sons drums with Mac and the other plays guitar with Zach; they both absolutely love School of Rock. Personally, I like the low-key vibe and how the other students act like it is a clubhouse. Everyone is very friendly and supportive.

5 stars

The instructors seem competent and my son enjoys the lessons. I just wish it was easier communicating with the staff. Due to the late-ish hours the business runs, getting an actual person on the phone is potluck. Email sometimes gets an answer within a couple of hours, other times it seems that days go by before someone responds. Their overall attitude is laid-back, which is fine, I suppose, and in keeping with the SOR “way”. I just think they could be a bit more professional and efficient insofar as the customer service is concerned.

If you are thinking about taking lessons or signing your child up for lessons, you should seriously reconsider this location. Find a corporate location that has the proper resources. This place is overall NOT functional and failing.

Great staff…so happy my daughter found this place as her new home for rock n roll! I Highly recommend them! Bring your kids and jump start their careers in music!

Both my sons did a camp, they had a blast and ended up performing a rock song on stage! There staff is also amazing. Totally love the place

I use to come to Barrington twice a year to visit my daughter, who lives here. As a piano student I need a place to study my lessons with a decent keyboard for practising.
I found all this at the School of Rock of Barrington. And even more: Barbara Lewis, its general manager, is a very caring person, wishing to help you, to make you feel comfortable at the school.
I strongly recommend the place to all the people who wants to learn or practice music (which is, indeed, among the most wonderful things in the world).

Not really impressed with this school. We went for a trial lesson with every intention of signing up for regular classes. The instructor really had nothing to say to me after my son’s class. I had to approach him myself as he was walking away and still he barely said a thing after I inquired about how everything went. Say something man. Anything. The front desk attendant educated me more than the actual teacher. Just left w a bleh feeling. Not signing up.

This school is only for approved white rich people. Horrible experience with the instructors playing favorites. If I could give zero stars I would. All of these five star ratings are from the parents that have been given preferential treatment. Don’t waste your time, and YOUR MONEY if you’re a hardworking middle class family in this school.
