I am a self-taught guitar player and was in a rut. I joined the adult program 2 months ago and cant believe the impact this program has had on my playing (skill, confidence, playing live). SoR takes safety seriously but it also feels like a community of music when I’m there. GREAT band directors and they know how to bring out each person’s skills in a pressure-free environment. I really wish I had done this sooner.
Awesome
My son is shy but they have managed to make him feel comfortable singing his heart out. He loves music and we feel whether it’s as a music teacher or singing in some capacity we’re hopeful that the school of rock gives him the confidence and foundation to pursue music.
He is hyper and all over the place but music gives him something to focus on! We couldn’t be happier with the school. They genuinely care about their students!
My son had an awesome time at School of Rock today.
Love School of Rock! The approach of mixing individual lessons with a band of peers and actual performances is perfect for learning and staying motivated. The instructors are great, and the bands have a chance to play venues all over the area. We have been with the school since they opened a few years ago. Our son has moved from guitar and bass to drums, and had a great experience with each instrument. The staff is responsive and friendly, the kids have developed real friendships, and they are playing great music (no hot cross buns played on repeat at this school).
Kind and informative. But not very professional on the phone.

My daughter recently performed in her first School of Rock “gig” since beginning to take guitar lessons there. I had not seen the SOR bands perform before. Going in to the performance, I keptr my expectations in check for my daughter, both in terms of her comfort of being on stage and her playing ability. My expectations for the performances overall were tempered as well. I think I expected children to miss notes and to get off rhythm occasionally. I was so impressed with how polished the bands actually sounded. They were all playing music I really enjoy, and doing it really well. I’m even more excited to see how my daughter progresses going forward, and I’m legitimately looking forward to future performances, simply for the chance to listen to good music played well.
Thank you to administrators and the instructors for making School of Rock fun for my daughter and for obviously doing such a good job teaching the children to play music.
Our oldest “graduated” from SoR Elmhurst in 2019. Performance Groups, House Band and All Stars were a huge part of her high school years. The school really works hard to offer meaningful and fun performance opportunities. Our youngest daughter just started at SoR Elmhurst last week. She’s excited about being able to make music and perform with others in person. The school seems to be taking COVID protocols very seriously. Can’t wait to see their livestream performance in January!
My son loves playing guitar at School of Rock Elmhurst! His teaching is first rate, and the experience playing in a band with his peers makes him excited to practice and play each week. It’s amazing to see the caliber of performances they are able to pull together each season. Keep up the great work, SOR!
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.
