Very good with kids, and very knowledgeable. I'm thankful we have someone local to help us as she grows into larger instruments. Renting makes it very affordable and includes insurance (which is brave on their part considering that she's 4!) Careful when you exit, there's a blind spot that seems fairly dangerous. I put down my windows to listen for traffic and that helped.

Bit of a disclaimer: I am not an employee, nor am I a stakeholder in the corporation behind this…read morebrainchild of rock & roll, and awesomeness. After my experience here, I want to open a franchise of my own one day soon! I am not exactly reflective of a typical student either - I'm in my mid 30s, where this school is clearly aimed at much younger students. Please don't be fooled though, it's not just for kids! If you've always wanted to learn an instrument, this is the place! If you're competent, but want to get better, guess what? They have you COVERED, my brother/sister of melting faces with godly rock. Let me tell you a little story, if you're entranced enough to absorb my words. When I started my tutelage at the Knoxville School of Rock, I was already fairly experienced - as I had been playing guitar, and playing it relatively well for 16 years, give or take a year. I have jammed with dozens of bands, recorded albums, played shows, and even zealously followed true masters of the instrument(guitar) like Buckethead, Richie Blackmore, Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani, Steve Howe, and Yngwie Malmsteen. However, after all of my skill and experience, I managed to hit a wall. I was in a stylistic/creative and musical rut that I hadn't been able to break out of for years. Within a week or two, I was out of the rut, and I developed better abilities far faster than I had on my own while I was a student. That said, if you're into Nicki Minaj, or something similar, you'll be living your best life. Or whatever they say. If you dig Rush, Priest, and the Scorpions, you'll be living after midnight! Blues or jazz more your scene? You're all set. School of Rock paired me up with not one, but two highly competent teachers of a PERFECT skill level after talking with me on the phone for about ten minutes, if that. There is an unbelievable amount of skill and care taken in student placement, no matter your experience. As an aside for the parents who may be reading, the middle-school aged kids that had their own organized band practice sounded better than about 95% of the semi-professional bands that I have played in, so it's clear that the program works. Bottom line, if you're starting out, have kids, or have played live for years but want to get better, this is a company that cares, and they're worth the investment! Speaking of investment, the first lesson is free, so you know it's good stuff! :)

It was worth stopping by when I was in the area just to meet people and hear stories. It's a uniquely American place. Family owned. Operates with integrity.

The other guy looks like he sleeps in the woods. Very non professional looking. My friend was looking to buy a NEW guitar, but this Anthony Lay person kept trying to get her to buy some high priced USED guitar. We ended up going to Knox Guitar on Emory Road. At least we weren't verbally assaulted. I was telling someone else about our experience there, and got an entire back story on the Anthony guy. He's not one I want to do business with.

A perfect example of what the arts can do in a community and how kids can blossom when their creativity is supported and nurtured. This really is a great model of something that we need to have in communities across the country. As our public schools fail and drop programs that encourage music and the arts these are the types of non-profits that will need to step in and fill the role.

Joy of Music School provides music lessons and instruments to children of families who cannot afford such luxuries. I use the term "luxury" because in most public school systems, the music and orchestra programs have been removed from the budget. I have personally visited Joy of Music School and have seen them in action. All the teachers are volunteers. The program has been life changing for many kids. Some students go on to major universities on music scholarships. For others it is an outlet from their daily lives, and for some it is simply a way to stay out of trouble. In any case, this is a cause worth funding. I would highly recommend The Joy of Music School on multiple levels. I am a proud supporter.
