      "Coming from a house filled with rock music from the day he was born Scott was influenced to pick up the guitar at age 10 and instantly fell in love with every aspect of the instrument. Learning various techniques at this early age under his Dad's direction, Scott began to understand his passion for guitar as well as music in general. Playing his first real gig at an open mic night at Barrymore's at the early age of 13 Scott instantly knew the stage was where he belonged. He then began taking lessons at various facilities in the Ottawa/Orleans area and studied under a handful of different instructors all the while taking in all of their various influences and developing those methods into a style that worked for him. Shortly after beginning lessons Scott's musical interests turned towards the heavier side of the genre when he heard Pantera - from there he began to fall in love with the heaviest music he could find. Scott then began to focus on teaching himself and started to look into creating music on top of just learning what his favourite bands were playing. Scott was in and out of various local metal Ottawa bands from ages 16-18 and began learning about the music industry as a whole as well as spending lots of time performing on various local stages as well as being one of the primary content creators for any of the groups he was a part of. In the last 3 years Scott has focused all his time and energy into Of Reverie, a Post Hardcore/Metalcore outfit from Ottawa. The band has worked with producers such as Adam Newcomb (Newcomb Studios) and Doug Meadows (Allspark Studios) as well as touring with acts such as Sirens Sailors (Artery Records), Chasing Safety (Outerloop Records), and Horizons. Scott's time with Of Reverie has taught him many things about his own playing, the music industry, and gave him a brief glimpse into what life on the road is like."

      Raised in Timmins, ON, Stephanie has been belting out tunes since she could talk. From auditioning for Canadian Idol in 2006, to winning best French singer in Ontario in 2008, and studying Performing Arts at Sheridan College, Stephanie inspires to share her talent with the world. She started taking classical vocal lessons when she was 15. She was able to sing operatic Italian songs after 3 months of training. From then on, Stephanie knew that she wanted music to be a big part of her life, after realizing what type of gift she had to offer. She then picked up a guitar, bought herself a keyboard, and decided to teach herself everything she could. At the age of 16, Stephanie joined a funk band. Covering Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, and No Doubt, they had the chance to play at every single bar and arena in Timmins. For anyone who knows Timmins... That's quite a few. Stephanie's musical influents are; Whitney Houston, Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks, generally, anybody with "pipes." All through high school, Stephanie sang whenever she could. From Christmas assemblies in the auditorium, to singing O'Canada at hockey games, she loved any opportunity to belt out a tune. In her last two years of high school, she had the honour to be her music teacher's assistant and call it part of her "Co-op" class. Two years ago,she decided to pack her car, and make the big move to Ottawa. She found School of Rock, and she's never looked back! Stephanie gets plenty of opportunities to sing her heart out. In 2012 alone she sang at 17 weddings. She continues to sing at functions when she can. With her eclectic jazzy, rockish, bluesy voice, she aspires to be the best vocal and performance teacher she possibly can and call herself a well known artist!

      Talking to Jordi you would think he was born in the fifties or sixties with his extensive knowledge, and passion for, groups like CSNY, Pink Floyd and Cream. Jordi started playing guitar at the age of 16 and added drums, bass, keys and vocals to his repertoire shortly after. His first live gig came by chance when he was walking around the Perth Music Festival and was asked to jump on stage and join the band. He got the bug and has continued to play with numerous bands, gigging at venues like Barrymore’s and The Rainbow to name a few. Jordi’s first encounter with SoR was the Blackburn Funfair where he was our sound engineer. He soon joined the school as an instructor and music director and, most recently, summer camp director. Jordi was also a sound tech at the legendary Zaphod’s until it’s closing. He is currently in the local band Wise Young & King playing guitar and keyboards.

      I have been playing drums since 10 years old. I started playing in bands and recording when I was a teenager. Bands like Boston, Rush, Thin Lizzy, and Metallica influenced me at a young age and I began learning a large catalogue of classic rock and metal tunes. By my 20s I was learning full albums by Megadeth, Metallica, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath.

      I am mostly self taught but have taken professional lessons from Jeff Asselin. It’s at this point where I learned about technique, site reading, and advanced rudiments. I have been a consistent player in Ottawa’s music scene for over 10 years. I have played live in, and recorded albums with Descendant, Vyc Vypyr, Ginger Fox Band, and King Swan. In my mid-twenties I began teaching, both privately and in various music schools around Ottawa.

Testimonials

  • “What an amazing show last night!! I usually get emotional watching Kai perform but last night other parents' kids managed to choke me up... it's been so incredible to watch these kids that Kai has been with for the past couple of years grow into talented, unique, awesome musicians and performers putting their own mark and character into their performances. I was blown away (again) at the level of talent, maturity, courage, passion, energy ... in front of hundreds of people. What a great place this School of Rock is...thanks to all the teachers who are more than just teachers, and to Rick and Andy for caring so much about these kids and this experience. I can't wait to see what next season has in store.”
    - Yasmine Fathers, School of Rock Orleans proud mom
  • “They are great I would never go to another music school then school of Rock here I am nine months ago trying to figure out how to strum ONE!!! String on my guitar ... Now I am playing solos and full songs omg”
    - Jacob Elgin Learning to shred at SoR Orleans
  • “School of Rock ROCKS!!!! It is such a terrific program, and the students progress so quickly with the magic formula of having both private lessons and band lessons every week. I have children in Rock 101 and in the Performance Group, and both absolutely LOVE IT!! They get to learn musical terminology, how to read music, how to write music, and how to play at an increasingly challenging rate. The teachers are TERRIFIC!! They know each student well, and ensure that they are continuously challenged at a rate that suits the child. They manage to bring a group of kids who have never played an instrument, let alone played in a band, and have them perform songs that we know and love in front of an audience, all in a matter of a few months! Other benefits of this great program are the confidence that they gain throughout the development process and then during each performance on stage, and the friends they get to make and hangout with during band practices!”
    - Natalie Howe (proud mom of a drummer and guitarist)
  • “I attend along with my youngest son who has autism. Amazing experience and I have told everyone who will listen, both young and old. My oldest son did a performance program and loved it as well. Can't say enough about everyone at the School of Rock. Made my sons feel included and made me feel young again.”
