Testimonials
“It is hard to articulate the pride you feel as a parent when you see your kid perform onstage. As a music teacher for fifteen years, it is easy to say that choosing the Marlboro School of Rock for our fifteen yearold son, was indeed, the best parenting decision we have made yet.”
- Rebecca T., parent, Marlboro, NJ“When we decided to send our daughter to SOR, we never imagined what a positive impact that one decision would have on her life. She transformed from a shy, quiet kid to a confident, incredible musician, with an active social life and many close friends she considers her second family. The amazing memories she'll always have of touring and performing with the AllStars at worldrenowned venues and festivals are just icing on the cake.”
- Robert D, parent, Morganville, NJ“I wish I had School of Rock when I was growing up.”
- Nearly Every Parent Who Walks Through Our Doors“My son, who has special needs, found a true home at the Marlboro School of Rock. They broke through to him and enabled him to blossom in a very caring and accepting environment. Their unending patience and alternative teaching methods made all the difference. We are eternally grateful to the wonder staff at this school. (and we can't wait to see the next show!)”
