I've left a review in the past and it was great, but my review comes now with even greater thought…read moreand more experience. My number one favorite thing by far is the staff. I love Kelsey and Kevin (they are just the best and could NOT be better in any way I can think of) and will really miss Dean...he is an absolutely wonderful teacher and such a loss for SOR and the students. All the staff members I've had contact with in classes and makeups have been thoughtful, courteous, professional yet friendly and have brought me so much more knowledge than I had walking in with a professional background in opera and musical theater. The staff has been the most important thing about SOR for me. I don't know that I would attend without them. I hope they all stay (at least as long as I and my family are there!). I'm so glad my husband and I have returned for a 2nd performance band season, that my son is now in his 3rd, and that they have been so patient, inspiring, and warm with my adult daughter with autism. Thank you SOR staff! I hope you are valued as much as I think you should be!

If you have a child who is not already 100% committed and certain he/she wants to play music- do…read morenot go to School of Rock. I'm disappointed in the way School of Rock operates their business. My young son started in Rookies. We paid the enrollment fee, and prorated month. Today, first of Sept, I tell them my son cannot attend any Rookie classes because he has after school and will be too tired. They still charged me for a full month, saying I didn't give them 30 days notice. My son hadn't even been enrolled for 30 days...there was no more advance notice I could give. What's more, I gave them several alternatives, given that they insist on charging us for the month even though we can't use it. I suggested they give us credit for the summer so my son can take a month of Rookies then; I also suggested I take lessons and even make up the difference in pay. They said no to these suggestions. Unless they refund me the money or agree to some alternative, I cannot recommend this business.

AOM takes the kids to the studio, sans parents, and we can watch them practice from the monitors in the waiting area. She enjoys class much better this way, as compared to our experience at another studio. Class is always on time, and her coach Cortney is really great. Costumes for recital are here well ahead of time, and of great quality. Overall, we have had an exceptional experience here, and highly recommend AOM!

The teachers have really helped my daughter's confidence, too. You can tell that they love teaching and take their job as a role model very seriously. We're so glad we made the switch!
