Update! Our son Chris is continuing to thrive at this school. His knowledge and skill level is…read moreexcelling very rapidly. Chris takes his music lessons very seriously and we have increased our lesson time to double time. Music theory with Paul and Guitar and Bass with Greg. Chris has attended other schools and has reported back that Greg is the teacher he feels he learns the most from in Guitar and Bass, classical acoustic and electric. Music is a self directed inspired passion. What Chris loves is that Greg is always willing to shift gears to what interests Chris the most without hesitation but the right way, in terms of foundational strength. Paul is a teacher and mentor to Chris. If you have little ones, I have no doubt that they will grow like family in this school. Chris started when he was 9 years old with classical piano. The band part of this school's program allow Chris to participate in song selection which is very important to him. All the band members have a say in song selection to be fair and this is important. Volume is adjustable for rehearsals which is very important for the safety of hearing. As with anything you get what you put into music lessons. Rapport and chemistry between a teacher and a student is paramount. If you are willing to dedicate attention time and effort to learning then your outcome will be the absolute best. I continue to highly recommend the high level instruction of this school for Guitar, Bass, classical acoustic, and Piano. Reading music and music theory as well. The chemistry with Chris and his teachers is a valuable treasure to me as a mom. In my opinion, if our son is excelling and enthusiastic to attend lessons always then that says it all. With other schools he was not eager to attend. To me that is telling.

Not sure any review of the School of Rock in Somerville would do it justice but I'm going to give…read moreit a shot... Last October our son Matt enrolled in guitar lessons at the SOR in Somerville with very little experience but I noticed a lot of ability which was quickly obvious after a month with his guitar teacher Kylan who is absolutely incredible!!! After a month, in November he also enrolled in a band program there and due to his age landed him in the adult band program "The Barrikades" which just happened to be led and instructed by his teacher where the way we looked at it, the more time with Kylan the better! After just 3 rehearsals, Matt was able play and sit in on a few songs at a house show they did... after 4 months he was able to play another house show doing even more songs with them... and after just 6 months at a recent adult band house show, Kylan had the confidence in Matt to play most of the songs on his own and all The Barrikades did an awesome job for a great entertaining show! It really is hard to believe this all happened for our son in less than a year and although some may say maybe it's due to more the ability of an individual, it really doesn't happen without the instruction and confidence Matt got and gets from his teacher Kylan. Megan, Ally, Hailey and the whole staff at the SOR in Somerville have been fantastic and professional to deal with... in fact Matt as a lefty guitarist (where it not being so easy to walk in music stores and locate lefty guitars)... one of the owners John helped locate a great lefty Jackson electric guitar and then a beautiful lefty Fender acoustic guitar which we then easily purchased directly through the school. This SOR location is truly amazing... I can't sing enough praises!!! (yes, pun intended)

When my son was young he expressed an interest to learn guitar. I thought this was an easy enough…read moreask, so I bought him a guitar and found a local school that gave "guitar lessons". Once a week I would drive him to his lesson and pick him up an hour later. The rest of the week I would be constantly asking/reminding him to practice. That cycle repeated for about 2 years. I asked him several times "are you sure you want to being doing this" to which I would hear "I guess". Then I had heard about Malcom and his "different" approach to teaching guitar. So we gave it a shot...... Fast forward several years and my son doesn't put his guitar down. Malcolm quickly made learning guitar fun. Gone were the days of my son anguishing over countless scales and songs he had zero interest in. Instead Malcolm taught my son what HE wanted to play. Now my son is COLLEGE going after a degree in music technology and we owe a lot of that to Malcom. His unique ability to relate to his students and teach them in a way that works for their individual needs is outstanding. Add to that the convenience of Malcom coming to YOUR house on your time... It's the best. If your looking for someone to help your child achieve their best.... Malcom and Giants of Music is the BEST
