My kids have been enrolled in SoR Denver for five years - eventually mastering proficiency at their instruments, meeting peers interested in rock and eventually forming their own band. We love the leadership, instruction, and opportunities to perform in front of crowds - even Red Rocks. The seasonal shows and performance program are integral to becoming musicians. Our family highly recommends School of Rock! read more

My son did a week-long summer camp and is now enrolled in a weekly rehearsal / band program. He'd been taking drum lessons for awhile with a private instructor and enjoyed it but was often a little bored playing and practicing alone. After his camp, his interest in drums increased significantly since now he's motivated to play with other kids. He wants to practice now, whereas before we had to push him a bit. One-on-one lessons are important too, but the experience of learning how to play with others and perform on stage is invaluable. It is a bit of a crap shoot on how much each kid gets to play during performances since it's dependent on how many other kids play the same instruments - for example, if there are 5 kids playing drums and only 2 guitar players, the guitar players play on a lot more songs and the drummers might only get to play 1 or 2. The instructors have all been great - totally into music and the whole scene, so authentic rock musicians, yet super friendly and encouraging to the kids - in other words, not "too cool" to engage with them. Our good friends' son was enrolled in SoR Denver for years and became an excellent guitar player and made some good friends, so we're excited to see how much our son enjoys SoR. read more

The Boulder School of Rock is great. My daughter has come out of her shell which I enlarge attribute to her wonderful School of Rock guitar instructor. Because of him she will be preforming this month in a concert in front of an audience. I would never of believed this could happen. The are very accommodating with scheduling and making up lessons too. Over all I have been really happy with my experience at the BOULDER location. I cannot find the sight to write a Yelp review for that specific location. read more

Really amazing - so much more than just music lessons! Our son is not only receiving musical training from first-rate musicians, they are teaching him about the importance of working as part of a band - great work ethic, responsibility, cooperation - and they lead by example. Just can't say enough about this great organization - if you don't believe me, come see a live show. The kids will blow you away! read more

The team building skills, stage presence and music skills have had a tremendous impact on my son. The leadership at school of rock is incredible. Everyone involved has a deep passion for music and performance. read more

Our son really enjoys Little Wing. Dr. Erika is an amazing teacher, and we can see all of the kids having fun and really learning about beats and music. It is great that our child is exposed to so many different instruments, and has the opportunity to play each one. Dancing and singing are encouraged, and there are many young assistants and helpers that make the class fun and engaging each time. read more

My son has been involved in Denver SOR for 3 years, since he was 11. It has been amazing to watch his musical talent and confidence grow. Each trimester he is excited about working with his team/band to prepare for the performance. While the monthly fee is expensive, it is not more than we pay for our other kids who are in competitive sports and the team camaraderie and requirement to work well with others is just like that of a sport team if not better. read more

I've been enrolled in SoR for a year now, and I love it. It's a great environment where I have met my best friend and many others. Not to mention I have learned two instruments, and am starting on more. 10/10! read more

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience there. In the three months that my son went for lessons, we experienced the following: 1) they cancelled twice; 2) my son had four different instructors; 3) we reported to a lesson to have to return home because there was no one to provide instruction during our regular scheduled time; 4) the instructor was 20 minutes late with no explanation; and 5) the instructor left my son in the music room to go have a 5 minute conversation with other employees. I would NEVER recommend this place. read more

My son has been a student at Denver School of Rock (SoR) for nearly 4 years. He has progressed from a kid playing to a teen who really rocks and PERFORMS. This performance based program takes kids to the next level. The teachers are amazing, talented, and knowledgeable. They are giving my son the music education he would not receive in a public school. They understand his goals of progressing with music into college and challenge him both in regards to music theory and music performance. The kids attend for a 45 minute lesson each week and then spend time in a 3 hour rehearsal. Seasonal, themed shows are performed 4 times a year. These are not music recitals, they are actual rock concerts performed at various venues throughout metro-Denver. Advanced rockers can audition for the House Band and All-Star programs. My son has developed terrific friendships with other rockers from the metro area. Some of these students have earned the opportunity to go on the road performing in the summer and some have performed at Red Rocks! Every student at SoR knows they have the potential to get to that level and the staff helps them hone their skills to get to that level. If you are looking for a positive experience for your rocker to grow and develop this is your place!!!! read more
