What is School of Rock?
As educators, we’re trailblazers with our patented, performance-based model of music instruction. You may already be familiar with the movie that bears our name. Yes, we were the little startup that inspired that movie, but the real-life School of Rock is so much more. Today we’re an education franchise with over 340 locations worldwide. We have schools in 15 countries and continue to develop and open new schools around the globe.
The conventional method of music instruction is that you must master musical concepts before you move on to play songs that actually inspire you. Our approach is different. You start by learning to play and perform the songs that inspire you, and through that process you will develop mastery of music theory with the added benefit of knowing how to play with others.
Our unique approach to instruction and our love of rock music helps young, aspiring musicians find themselves, hone their talents and build the confidence they need in their lives. School of Rock is a safe place for kids to learn, develop friendships with other kids who are into music and carve out a niche for themselves in a world where they might never have felt a sense of belonging before.
Five Reasons to Own a School of Rock:

Testimonials
My partner and I opened The School of Rock in North Palm Beach Florida in July of 2009. We went into this hoping to make a difference in kid's lives through Rock n Roll and build a business at the same time. Since, we have played amazing shows on awesome stages and have watched our school grow in the process. People ask me all the time,Rick Rothschild
In 2008 I made the decision to follow my dreams of incorporating my business background with my passion of working with kids and teaching music. I learned of School of Rock and was not only blown away by the philosophy, values and programs, but also the business model and leadership team. Two years later, I own and operate four schools in two distinct markets (Dallas and Detroit), and live my dream every day of working with amazing kids, families, and some of the finest musicians in the local music scenes. I'm proud to be part of the School of Rock family!Terry Longhway
