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
Greenwood Music Camp
Address: 32 Harlow Rd, Cummington, MA 01026 , Tufilândia , Massachusetts , United States
Kids love it. The camp director Debbie is amazing.
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.
Premier chamber music camp in the northeast. Free concerts open to the public every Saturday of July and the first Saturday of August.

School of Rock
Address: 185 Washington St unit d, Attleboro, MA 02703 , Tufilândia , Massachusetts , United States
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
Address: 1250 Washington St, Norwood, MA 02062 , Tufilândia , Massachusetts , United States
I absolutely loved our experience here. My 7 year old, who had no previous experience, learned how to play 2 complete songs on piano & drums in just ONE WEEK! I highly recommend trying out a camp. The teachers are awesome and since they teach songs that the students want to learn, they make it fun. It’s a place to learn how to be a musician in a rock band (versus doing scales / learning classical music and fighting about it with your child).
Started drum lessons and Adult Band one year ago at SOR after a very poor experience with guitar lessons 35 years ago out west. My instructor Dylan is fabulous, helps me to understand drum mechanics and theory while enjoying the learning and practice process, challenged every day. Adult Band has helped me grow so much as a drummer, still learning the big and little things every time I sit down. Our first performance in Providence a few weeks ago was something I had dreamed of doing for a long time, though too scared to even contemplate previously. Will never listen to music the same way again, my life changed by Dylan and everyone at SOR. Thanks so much!
The School of Rock in Norwood is helping to fulfill an old guitar player’s desire to get back what what was lost decades ago. They listen to what your needs are and are not shy about suggesting different paths to get you where you want to be. I couldn’t be happier with the lessons I’ve received. The enthusiasm and positive reinforcement I get from the instructors will keep me coming back. My retirement years just around the corner will be absolutely epic. So, all you elder players out there that want to dust off your axes, keyboards, drums or whatever – this is the place that can make it happen for you. If we get enough older folks involved we will be able to perform together and show the youngsters out there what started everything they are now working on!!
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!
Bach to Rock
Address: 200 Linden St A, Wellesley, MA 02482 , Tufilândia , 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 , Tufilândia , 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!
Great school: well run, offering a wide range of music classes, and with excellent teachers
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 Hate it so much
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 !!!!!!!!
Brookline Music School

Berklee College of Music

A pretty small campus but in a good, fast-paced part of the city. This is a great, selective college with several impressive programs.
Good degree I got from this place
Amaze.
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?!
