The School of Rock is the original performance based, interactive music school, founded in 1998.
We proceed from the belief that the best way to learn to do almost anything is by doing it, and we feel that this is particularly true about learning to play music.
Our goals at the School of Rock are:
1. To help our students realize their potential as artists
2. To put them on stage in front of as many people as possible
3. To help foster a new generation of incredible musicians.
From the moment a student joins one of our schools they are PLAYING music; loudly, on professional equipment with other musicians. Before long, our students are playing live rock concerts at real rock venues in front of real rock audiences.
Each year our students play over 500 concerts to more than 200,000 people nationally. We are always looking for grander stages to put our students on, and to date our students have played Lollapalooza and other festivals from California to Germany, opened for national acts coast to coast and performed live on television and radio countless times. Our local school performs at such legendary venues as The Stone Pony, Starland Ballroom, Wonderbar, The Blender Theater and BB Kings Blues Club in NYC. Our kids have opened for George Clinton & The P-Funk All Stars, performed Bowie songs with Bowie guitarist Earl Slick and Yes songs with John Wetton.
Our instructors are working, touring, recording musicians who have played or performed with such artists as Tom Morello, Anthrax, Les Paul, Perry Farrell, John Legend, Widespread Panic, Chrissie Hynde, Miley Cyrus, REM, The Legendary Wailers, Southside Johnny, and more. They bring these experiences to their lessons.
