Fun and entertaining! Kids learnt fast and developed love for music

Engagement was top priority. The kids had a great time playing music with kids their age.

My daughter absolutely loved the class. Opened her up to new instruments. Instructor is very nice and motivating. I’m sure there will be more classes to come in the future for her here. Thank you!

Instructors are fun, patient and thorough

The focus on collaboration is our favorite—everyone is on the same team! Our son has gained so much confidence and has seen the rewards of working persistently to improve. Teachers are great and other students are mentors. We’ve been at SOR Rochester for 5 years and it rocks!

Great place for kids to build confidence and work as a team to put on a great show

They have taught our son to be more confident in himself, manage mistakes by keeping going if he makes a mistake in a song, handle stress better, make friends with people with similar interests, make him excited about a hobby that can last him his lifetime. I like the age span of groups that helps with his social skills and gives him mentors and people to look up to.

The people you have in place that teach and the office staff that does a great job working with people. I truly believe in face to face interaction as our society has lost its way with computers and cell phones. A person really can’t learn music over the internet the way they can in person. Thank you

The opportunity to play with other musicians in a band is huge for the growth of any artist and that's what sets School of Rock apart. The end of season shows at quality venues really gives the students a feel for the potential of their craft. The band is also a place where students can form friendships with kids with similar interests and goals.

I enjoy my instructor a lot, there’s a level of personal relationship and friendship you create with your instructor, where they make you feel welcome while also being strict in their teachings. They teach you to be deliberate about your learning and also create an environment you want to come back to each week. By personal relationship I mean, that they remember your likes and dislikes in genres, and remember your conversations from weeks prior. At least in my experience, I have been treated with a level of respect and friendliness that is hard to find elsewhere whilst learning. I am 21, so closer than most in age to my instructor(in my case at least) and it’s nice to be able to talk freely with someone who has been in my shoes before and also can create an environment that does not make you feel like just another kid they’re teaching. Very personal touch to the student-teacher relationship. Overall I recommend this to people of all ages, it’s a strict teaching environment, that adds the necessary friendly interaction to boost your confidence and desire to learn. Each week, I come back wanting to learn more, and each lesson I leave, I feel a new fond attraction to my instrument that allows me to feel more creative when I’m alone, but also allows for the fundamental building blocks to become a more technically proficient musician. A lot of technique, mixed with a healthy amount of feel (for your instrument and playing), is what I find here. Perfect mixture of what you need to grow.

Great instructors and a very positive atmosphere. I’m quite impressed how quickly my son has advanced.

Teachers are kind and caring, they really take the time with their students to promote success.

Like minded kids getting opportunities to play together Close to my home Good instructors Friendly staff

Very personal. My son likes his teacher very much

I love being able get better at my instruments while working with awesome people! Everyone there is so kind and being there is the highlight of my week!

The instructors have been great!! Also, we were able to schedule make up lessons with ease.

Great music. Directors are great at encouraging kids and helping them find their talent.

Get to play with others, challenge with new songs and a variety of rock eras and styles helps push me to improve coordination, speed and dynamics. Really talented and enthusiastic instructors

School of Rock Rochester is a fantastic place for kids to explore their creativity and learn to play an instrument. All of the staff have been great! The concerts these kids put on are always pure entertainment. Even during a pandemic, they have found ways to make it work. I highly recommend for any young person interested in playing music!
