Testimonials
“The School of Rock is an amazing place for kids to become musicians in a creative, safe, and fun environment. My children ages 9 and 10 absolutely love being a part of the School of Rock Family. The teachers are not only very talented musicians, but they are also great with kids. Both of my children have gained so much confidence being part of their program. Best of all...they are playing awesome music! I love hearing them practice and listening to their progress!! I highly recommend that anyone with a child who has an interest in music visit the school I guarantee you will be very impressed and jealous that there was nothing like this when we were kids!!”
- Virginia, SoR Huntington Parent“My 14 year old daughter loves it here! Such a great place for encouraging and cultivating musical talent. We are thrilled to see her blossom. I highly recommend this place. Great people. Great vibe.”
- Amy, SoR Huntington Parent“The School of Rock program has inspired my 12 year old daughter to practice and explore music more deeply while having the time of her life! The opportunities for growth through providing a "real" studio experience and the upcoming live performances are phenomenal. The teachers are talented musicians who are gifted in the art of teaching and inspiring young musicians. The environment is both safe, yet free enough for folks to create. I wish they had this program when I was growing up! These kids are blessed!”
- Cathy, SoR Huntington Parent“My 12 year old son has finally found a place where he can explore his passion for music with other young musicians. School of Rock is helping him blossom creatively in a great facility that makes him feel comfortable and safe. He loves it and so do we.”
- Kerin, SoR Huntington Parent“The facilities, the staff, the curriculum - really everything. I love that the school is not stuffy. When I was a kid, my parents had me take piano and my teacher ONLY let me do classical. It became boring very quickly. By letting the kids explore the music and genres of their own liking, they stay engaged. My kids would like to go to SOR every day if they could.”
- Monica B., SoR Huntington Parent
