My son needed this to take his drumming to another level. He would get bored drumming by himself in the basement. SOR gave him the opportunity for private lessons and jamming and learning to play with a band. Absolutely recommend.
Rob Foley is my son’s teacher and has been amazing with him. He’s encouraging and makes learning guitar fun! My son especially loves that Rob occasionally teaches him some video game themes in between learning the rock curriculum, and I appreciate that it helps my son stay engaged and encouraged. It’s been really cool that I can be listening to my son practice, and know exactly what he’s playing. It’s hard not to sing along sometimes!
The whole experience has been incredibly positive, and he is always excited to go to guitar lessons and Rock 101. I’d honestly recommend SoR to anyone, and am so glad we started him here.
It's a great way for my son to develop and fuel his love of music — and the teachers and staff at SoR Newtown have been a pleasure to work with, for student and parents alike.
My daughter started going to School of Rock in Newtown, PA, three and a half years ago. She quickly learned to play an instrument and then signed up for the show program. She's had so much fun with the shows and it's really boosted her self confidence and given her an appreciation for music. Rob, who runs the show program, is such a nice guy and it's so clear that he genuinely enjoys what he does.
My daughter's weekly teacher has also been great with her - patient and encouraging.
This has been a great recreational experience for her and as a parent, I'm very satisfied with the results.
If you're looking for a fun, not stressful, innovative music class for your child, I'd recommend SOR
My son played the violin for a year and, honestly, hated it, so we decided to give guitar at School of Rock a try. His teacher Rob F. has been awesome with him, and is encouraging and patient! My son legitimately loves his weekly lesson, which was never the case with violin! While practicing still isn’t his favorite thing, he’s been wanting to show off what he’s learning to family and friends, and sometimes has fun just trying to make cool sounding stuff in between working on his assigned songs. I’m so excited for him to add in the social aspect of Rock 101, and to hopefully discover the joy of creating music with others.
My son absolutely loves the program and instructors. He is not only learning to play bass and guitar but he’s developing important skills in time management, self confidence and music theory!
