My instructor, James Malone, is a pro! James is extremely knowledgeable on both music theory and playing guitar; he is also very patient with my beginner guitar status, which I appreciate. James is engaging and makes learning fun! I always look forward to my classes. Thank you!
The instructors are genuinely interested in whether our boys are enjoying their experience and push them to exceed their capabilities and build their confidence.
Structured and fun. My grandson enjoys it! He is only 7 and able to stay focused for the hour and a half group lesson, then the 45 minute private lesson immediately following his group lesson. He really likes Dan.
Our son absolutely loves his Keyboard lessons and band lessons! He is in first grade, and this is his first formal exposure to learning music. He looks forward to the classes, and after 2 lessons he was already playing parts of a song! We are impressed with what he is learning and that he enjoys going!
Our son joined three years ago as a beginner musician on bass guitar. He had never played for an audience of 1, much less on stage in front of hundreds of people. In a few short months he was on stage performing with a band. Fast forward three years later and he now plays bass, at an expert level, lead guitar and sings. He performs multiple shows a year and his confidence in all areas of life has soared. As parents, we are so happy he has found his "thing" that he excels at. This would not have been possible with out the guidance and the instruction he has received from the amazing people at School of Rock. He loves going to his rehearsals and has made some amazing friends with other young musicians. We could not be happier with the decision to join the Southlake School of Rock.
Our family loves that in addition to private lessons students can participate in a band that performs around 6 times a year. Our kids are gaining more than just music education. We have watched them become confident performers. Every week our kids are excited for both their lessons and band practices. We also love that the entire family can participate. Our entire family is a student at SOR Southlake and my husband and I are having a blast. We look forward to our weekly band practices and have noticed that it is our favorite day of the week. All of the staff at SOR are passionate about their jobs.
Great people, great program. One small item, at the group concerts, might want to let parents know if concerts are running on schedule or late via email day of events - so parents can plan their days a bit better. But overall, its an amazing program. Thank you.
The instructors.
They are real working musicians that play in their own bands and are great resources for children or adults looking to start their own bands.
Many of the instructors also have music degrees!
My children have had the same instructors for the last 7 yrs and have developed relationships with them. It’s great not to have to worry about getting a new instructor every season.
I’ve given you a glowing public review on Google that I’ve updated since 2018 for public consumption. This is for Bri/management/owners only.
The biggest praise I can give is that I’ve referred several of my adolescent patients to you. I know that you are kind with them even though you don’t specifically know who they are. I trust you with them, that they have a safe environment to practice the coping skills we are working on in session. Many Thanks!!
Brad is amazing with our son who is not a typical kid. Brad is patient and open to whatever to help E learn to play the Drums. When E comes in with a “new” band he has just discovered (Pink Floyd, Queen, AC/DC) Brad finds songs by that band to play and then introduces E to some mew bands with similar sounds.
