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

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!
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 looks forward to his lessons every single week! He has been very motivated to play his guitar with a mission to constantly improve himself. This has had tremendous impact in giving him a positive self esteem. I’m truly glad he has joined SOR and they certainly have my continued support.
My son started here in 2015. His love and passion for music has grown so much!! The instructors and staff care deeply about their students and are extremely patient. If you have a chance, check out any Schools of Rock, you won’t be disappointe.
The teachers at School of Rock Wakefield are in a class of their own. They all share the uncanny ability to teach music at a high level, to infuse joy into lessons, and to create life-long musicians. It is not easy to find one teacher like this, let alone a whole music school full of them! We feel very fortunate to have our children in a place that has their values pointed in the right direction.
Unfair and whilst going I never felt very welcomed
School of Rock

Amazing staff where everyone feels like family!! I highly recommend checking the out and becoming part of the rockin’ Family at SOR!!
My daughter takes voice, drums, keys, and performance group at SOR. She has also done camps and a song writing workshop, and I can’t say enough about how amazing all of the teachers are. Having lessons combined with performance group is exactly what she needed to push herself musically, and it’s what sets this school apart from others because these are not just music lessons, it’s truly a music education. The environment is also extremely welcoming and it’s great to see so many different types of kids being themselves and working together in the safe space SOR has created for music lovers.
My son had the best time at Rock 101 camp and has been begging me to go back everyday. They did a wonderful job letting him be himself and helped him build confidence with his singing! He can’t wait to sign up for lessons in the fall. 🙂
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!

Pakachoag Music School – Worcester
Address: 10 Irving St 2nd Floor, Worcester, MA 01609 , Zabierzów , Massachusetts , United States
Excellent music school. Qualified and very attentive and dedicated teachers. Directors and assistants who participate in every routine, in an attentive and competent manner. Numerous music and presentation rooms, installed in old Church rooms, with excellent acoustics. I have a 8 year old daughter with violin lessons and I am very satisfied. Super recommend !!!
My godson has been learning piano here for 5 years now! Great music school in downtown Worcester!
Just completed my first week working here as a Admin and Development Assistant. The way they made me go from stranger to part of a family in a mere week was outstanding, I’ve seen the same experience with students that attend the school. Everywhere you look, you see smiling faces and hear beautiful music from musicians of all places. Love this place!!
Unfortunately, the Music Together class we did with our toddler was not as good as we hoped. The main issues were they don’t play traditional, recognizable children’s music, there is not enough time with instruments, and we found the teacher bossy. She was particularly so to the parents which did not make it fun. Disappointing experience.
My son adored Michael unfortunately the school did not honor all the 3 absences due to covid19 with Dr. Notes after a pretty costly season 2 weeks prior to it being over they told me to purchase a smaller guitar what a joke He cannot even play a note nor read any music Total waste of time And money.
Powers Music School

Great school: well run, offering a wide range of music classes, and with excellent teachers
We get to know this wonderful school by attending their storytelling concert at library. I’m impressed by the professional performance, so I register my kid for the Music pups class. Both of us love this class a lot. The teacher Jennifer is awesome. She’s very passionate and knows how to engage everyone in the class. Both of my kid and I enjoyed sing and dance with her in the class. It helped us build a good memory that will last a long time. And I also learned some music that I could sing to my child in the future. I highly recommend this class to anyone that have babies / toddlers.
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!
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.
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 !!!!!!!!
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!

생각보다 규모가 작아서 놀랐습니다 .. 뉴버리 스트리트 방문할 때 시간 나시면 가셔서 인증샷 남기는거 정도로 ..
Good degree I got from this place
Excellent school but TERRIBLE concert hall with shameful acoustics for such famous performers.
My friend Martin used to go here and he’s a horrible human being so how good can it be, really? Four stars out of five seems reasonable.
There’s a guy whose face looks like a cucumber on campus, took major L’s
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?!
