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

I can’t recommend School of Rock highly enough. They have a cool and nurturing atmosphere for kids who are interested in performing music and singing. They wisely blend individual lessons, with group lessons so the kids get to experience what it’s like to be in a band. We’re grateful for SOR!
I love the method and instructors. My son gets so much out of both his lesson with Mark and his time in rock 101. When he first started he never wanted to be in a Performance Group and by the time he was ready for it, he excitedly asked to join so the method is really working for him! Every time I hear him playing he has improved and his confidence is growing as well!
School of Rock is nothing short of amazing! The team of instructors goes above and beyond. They are not only positive, caring, and fun, but also a highly-talented group of musicians, as well. It’s a perfect blend that keeps the learning environment both enriching and enjoyable.
The group aspect of performing and rehearsing the music together, with other bandmates, keeps my child thrilled about learning her music at home, too. The song selections are awesome and recognizable, and every student sounds incredible at the final show, whether they’ve played for months or years. As a parent, I’m delighted to listen to the rock tunes she plays—it’s a refreshing departure from the monotonous practice drills that linger from my own childhood music class experiences!
One aspect that truly stands out is the personalized feedback from the instructors. I appreciate the time they take to provide tips and insights into my daughter’s keyboard work. It adds a thoughtful touch to her learning journey, making each session feel tailored to her progress. My daughter has shown a tremendous amount of growth in her skills and understanding of musical concepts since joining this program.
The vibrant energy and enjoyable melodies make School of Rock a standout for both students and their families. It’s more than just a music school; it’s a nurturing ground for passion and talent.
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.

The staff is great! They work on a large variety of music so there is something for everyone. My son has loved being able to try different instruments and putting a whole song together with others.
My 7 year old daughter has been asking to play guitar for a few years. We decided to give School of Rock a try and are so glad we did. The Rock 101 program has made her more confident. She was nervous to try the band rehearsals at first but now loves them. She has also tried drums, keyboard and even vocals. Kyle and the instructors are so kind and encouraging. Highly recommend if your child is looking to try something new and gain confidence in themselves.
My son had several months of piano at another location just before the COVID pandemic, but ignored the keyboard after we stopped lessons ( zoom lessons didn’t work for him ). Fast forward 2 years – we had moved out of state and I read about the school of rock method. I enrolled him at East Hartford and he immediately started playing on his own without being asked. The staff is so dedicated and enthusiastic! We love the program and are happy with our choice.

School of Rock West Hartford has been an amazing experience for my 11 year old son. He is quite shy but has always loved music and playing guitar. The performance aspect of School of Rock has really allowed him to showcase his talent while also meeting other kids and working with his bandmates. He gained a ton of confidence. The staff is always super helpful and encouraging – highly recommended.
Great instructors and good program. The playing live aspect is a nice bonus.
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!!!!

Judahs Music School has been amazing! My son began in November and the progress he has made in such a short time has been truly remarkable. The instructors expertise and guidance have played a significant role in nurturing his passion for music. Thank you for providing a supportive and inspiring environment that encourages his musical growth. We are looking forward to seeing his journey continue to flourish under the guidance of the Judah Music School.
We highly recommend Judah’s Camp! My son (6) takes private piano lessons and has been learning so much. Esteban is super patient with him, keeps him engaged and makes lessons fun. I am amazed at how far he has come in just a few months.
My son and daughter (4) also participate in the Intro to Music classes for homeschoolers. Last year, we did not incorporate music into our studies and were very fortunate to find this program. My kids look forward to music class every week. You will not be disappointed!
Esteban does a wonderful job with my daughter. He’s so knowledgeable, patient and makes the classes so fun. I would definitely recommend 10/10!
