Great set of instructors that keep you engaged and excited to continue learning. Learn the songs you love not the songs from some book that nobody really wants to learn. Staff is very nice too. Can’t go wrong

The staff of instructors are knowledgeable, versatile, and fun. The school has a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere, and I’m learning at warp speed. I highly recommend Madison School of Rock.
My son experienced a positive environment to collaborate with peers and staff. He gained the confidence necessary to perform as an ensemble and to simply get on stage in front of people. In short, he loves it!
My daughter attended Punk rock week summer camp and she LOVED it! She is normally an introvert but Walker and Rach were supportive and encouraging. She sang lead vocals at the end of the week concert in front of a crowd filled with friends, family and restaurant patrons. We can’t wait to sign her up for voice lessons in the Spring.
My son a year ago had never held a drumstick. This past Sunday he was on stage performing with other SoR kids in front of 150 people at a venue that reminded me of college days 😉 It was unbelievable.
His progress over the last 12 months has been obvious and demonstrated.
Brandon, Matt, The Mikes, Grace and Blake are incredible teachers and mentors.
School of Rock

There is something for everyone. All of the staff is so encouraging and supportive. It’s a setting for any student at any level to thrive and learn and make friends and connections that will carry on forever.
We signed my 3.5 year old up for the Little Wings program and its been a huge hit! He was a little apprehensive for the first class but the teacher and owner are so friendly that he was quickly put at ease and started rocking out in short order. Parents wait in the waiting room but are able to hear the music and you can tell how much fun they are having as they play everything from Raffi to Old Town Road. The format of the classes is a good mix teaching my son to appreciate music and work as part of a larger group as they collaborate in their band.
As for the facilities they are brand new and very conveniently located in West Hartford center with parking readily available. Just park and a short walk up to the second floor. You can tell everyone that works there is passionate about music.
Highly encouraged for anyone looking to expose their kids to music and make them feel like a rock star.
Another parent highly recommended the School of Rock for my musical 15-year-old. We have only been at the School of Rock West Hartford for 1 season, and it has been an amazing experience – we are looking forward to the concert for each band to showcase all their hard work and talent! My son is not a die-hard sports kid (although he has been on several teams at school); he really loves music, plays piano and sax.
Being in a band takes the band members to a new level in their musical development/performance…it provides experience working in a “team” environment, offers opportunities for introverted kids to step outside their comfort zone with peers who possess similar interests and form new friendships, and helps band members gain confidence and self-esteem.
The School of Rock West Hartford is conveniently located a few minutes off I-84 next to Blue Back Square and has free parking at the facility.
Upon entering School of Rock, you can hear the band practicing, the energy of the staff is very positive, and the band members sound like they are having a great time together in the student waiting room. My son loves the passion and encouragement of all his instructors, who make the private lesson as well as the band practice a fun, engaging, educational and enriching experience every time. The band members encourage each other also. Through the instructors own musical training as well as the School of Rock performance methodology, they quickly learn their band member/students’ strengths and areas for opportunity and make them feel like they are an important part of the band. I love how the instructors make each band member feel like a real rock star.
I highly recommend the School of Rock experience!
School of rock, Rocks!!!!

My 8 year old said that his 2 week musical theater camp was his favorite part of his summer. As a parent, it was thrilling watching him come home happy and confident. The environment at NHAOPA was warm, supportive and happy! We had an amazing experience and will do it again!
We love it here! Our daughter has so much fun at summer camp, she also takes music and voice lessons. The staff is friendly, professional, and uplifting. They are accommodating as well, if we can’t make it in person we have the option to do it virtual.
Felt like family since the moment we walked in for open house! Even during Covid! Such a great and positive experience. Our son loves going there and is learning so much! Billy and Neil really go above and beyond to make sure your experience is enjoyable. Thank you!
