(Check out reviews from the old location on Lake City Way - same great folks, same great program, great new building.) He started playing snare drum in his elementary school, and after a year of that, he had some basic skills (Mary had a little lamb), but the amount of progress he made in his first few months at SOR completely blew that away - he was playing Beatles songs like Ringo, and Nirvana like Dave Grohl. Clearly, the School of Rock approach works wonders! For beginners and advanced students alike, School of Rock is a great place to learn to play an instrument, play with other musicians, and put on a show that rocks the audience.

I absolutely love this class for my daughter. We have enrolled in nearly half a dozen sessions with…read moreMrs. Chrisi and enjoy each one. I am not the best singer nor do I know that most kid friendly songs so these classes give me and my daughter the chance to bond and to learn new songs that are age-appropriate. Mrs. Chrisi is also very good with the kids of all ages, has a great smile and demeanor that makes everyone feel welcome. I would highly recommend seeing what this one of a kind music class is like.

I signed my twins up for this class in January and have only great things to say about it. Mrs…read more Chrisi is very engaging and the activities are appropriate for a wide range of ages. The class is a great balance of singing, dancing, playing with instruments and toys and generally having a fun time. My twins love the class! We do a parent-toddler class on another day of the week that has a music portion to it and Ms. Chrisi's class is so much better. I highly recommend her and her classes!

Music Together is a great program! I started taking my daughter when she was 4 months old, and it…read morehas been a pleasure watching her develop musically, both in and out of the classroom. She is now a year old, and incredibly interested in instruments of all kinds, but mostly percussion :). We knew we wanted music to be a big part of our daughters' life, and getting her started as an infant has been exactly what we had hoped - it's fostered such a natural interest for her! There have also been a few articles coming out recently (the most recent in the New York Times) about how early music education helps with brain development, language development, and organization/memory. BONUS! :) Connie Coffman, the teacher of Songbird, is FANTASTIC. She's a wonderful leader, enthusiastic, and engaging. Her love of children of all ages is apparent in every class. We plan on continuing to attend this class until my daughter ages out :).

Your class has been the one that's captured his interest all this time - 4 years! He always comes home singing and smiling. I love catching him signing bits of different songs he has learned with you. I don't know if you know how much of an impact you have had on our lives. It's been a really honor to have my son experience your class every week. Thank you for everything you do!!!

I chose Mrs. Renny based on those old reviews and photos. At first, things went fine. I used to…read morewait outside during lessons, but one day as I noticed my son was down and even looked sad after lessons, I started sit in at the lesson room. Then I saw when he made mistakes or struggled with new music, Mrs. Renny would sigh, scoff, or speak to him in a frustrated tone. On the day i decided to quit, when my son kept missing the tempo on the new piece he started, I saw her tap him on the forehead in frustration--completely unprofessional behavior. If you do choose her, I strongly recommend staying in the room during lessons to protect your child and observe how she treats your child. We've since switched to new teachers for two quarters now. and we are much happier, with positive experiences in great teaching and support, festivals and well organized recitals.

Ms. Renny truly has a magical way of connecting with students of all walks of life!…read more I have known her as a teacher for many years, and her approach to technique and musicality are second to none. She truly cares for her students and I saw my kids make so much progress with her because she balances discipline and fun. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to really learn music and is willing to put in the time to practice!

Amazing once in a lifetime teacher --

I'm really impressed by the people at the School of Rock. My son just had his fifth birthday and…read morehe's been banging on toy bins (emptied of their toys, of course) with Tinkertoy sticks or whatever else he can find for the past three years. With no sign of the "drumming" abating, I went to the SoR to see about real drum lessons for Felix. We had an honest and friendly conversation about how most five-year olds are not mature enough to learn much from drum instruction yet... they come in, bang on the drums, have a fantastic time, and maybe they will remember the names of the drums and cymbals. He said that with that info, if we want to enroll Felix, he's sure the drum instructor would be glad to have him and would do his best to help Felix have fun AND learn something... but don't have high expectations. He suggested an awesome alternative that they offer just for preschoolers... their eight-week Little Wing program (awesome name, btw). Skilled preschool teachers walk the kids through an intro to music, an intro to guitars, an intro to the bass, making their own guitar, intro to the drum kit, making their own drum kit, intro to the keyboard, making their own keyboard, intro to voice, recording their voices, sound detectives (headphones), and band rehearsal. They have small class sizes and at $160 for 8 one-hour sessions, it's a real bargain. I was so glad that they suggested this more age-appropriate program... he could have sold me a month of lessons for more $, and we would be less happy in the long run. Once Felix is old enough for proper drum lessons (age 7 - 8), if he's still interested, we'll be back at the School of Rock.

Her teacher Johana has been able to teach her technique tricks to fine tune her playing and bring out the color of the pieces. It is amazing to discover that there is still so much to learn and I think it has motivated my daughter to practice more. My 8 yr old is taking lessons with Jaime, and she is very patient and explains why things have to be done a certain way, which my daughter really likes. It helps her better understand what the exercises want her to achieve. Jaime is also starting to teach her some advanced bow techniques, which make her feel so 'grownup'.

Rescheduling lessons is a pain, though. For my son's instrument there is one and only one teacher who teaches 3 days of the week, and their flexibility when they've had no available make-up slots has varied. It was nightmarish a year ago, and better lately. My kids have been in lots of other classes/programs and rescheduling at Bach to Rock is just different. Also, when my son has been a little sick, well enough to play but didn't want to expose his teacher, they still charged us for the lesson... which is in line with their policies, but the other private teachers we've worked with have been kinder about illness especially when the key concern is protecting them.

They offer a free trial lesson. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Horrible business. The class quality is poor and they dodge to refund unused classes. Complaints…read moreare filed with BBB. Steer clear your kids from this scam experience and save your money. Class content: they advertised this summer class for 1-6 yr old but all they do in class is rotating sound toys (nothing close to any basic musical instruments) and have kids and families funny walking in circles for 20 dollars per class with 30 people in the room. Does not worth that price and you are better off playing with your kids at home or in daycares! The teacher started 'relaxation' 10 mins away from end time, not even an gym workout class needs such a long 'relaxation'. You know how little to no content it means and how poorly other classes can run. Cancellation and refund: The real drama starts with trying to cancel the unused classes after our first class. Allison at the class refused to help and only refer us email someone, we were fine with that but our emails went unresponsive for days until we sent more emails. The respondent Sarah Meyer refused to return our payment beyond the first class and went unresponsive again. As of now, they are still holding $60 of unused credit. A few more things: 1) There was no trial classes despite trying to request. You may see an option in their site but they wouldn't arrange. Sarah Meyer went on and accused us not requesting a trial class first. I mean who wouldn't try a free if you ACTUALLY offer one. All scams. 2) the classroom smelled very bad and parents cover their noses at the time.
