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

Never been a place like this. Best camp evah! You know who I am and I WILL DESTROY YOU at ping-pong
Kids love it. The camp director Debbie is amazing.
Best summer music camp ever, a couple of pros: the house and cabin are beautiful, orchestra is fun, in chamber you are slaying all day, also at lunch ask your private teacher what time your private lesson is at because then you wont be ooOOOOOed at. cons: hutch and mcgregor smell InTeResTinG (when the boys are all gone they are fine), and Schaffhausen is haunted between the hours of 10-11, there is no greenwood.

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!

My son has been learning drums at the SOR for 2 years now. Ben is such an amazing teacher and makes it just wonderful to understand music. Dave and Kim are excellent to work with as well. Anytime, the schedule needed a change, it was a breeze. They are pretty easy to get in touch with too. Overall, my son had an amazing teacher and his love for music had only improved since then. Thanks folks !
Our kiddo started at School of Rock Attleboro just about a month ago. Our experience has been nothing short of superlative. We’re doing 30 minutes of private and 1.5 hours of band practice, and kiddo LOVES both, but by far adores the group setting in band practice. We’re very happy that we enrolled.
In an era of kids internalizing into their smartphones, working on outward expression of themselves is the best counterpunch!
A bit pricey but fantastic teaching methods
Cool place

Connor is the man! Vocal or drum lessons, his approach is fantastic, laid back, but super professional
Amazing staff where everyone feels like family!! I highly recommend checking the out and becoming part of the rockin’ Family at SOR!!
I love the School of Rock for my children due to their warm, personable, and enthusiastic instruction!
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!
