“So I have been buying national headline talent for a long time. Some artist are grateful, others...well you know how they could be. One day, while working on the Taste of Philadelphia, I had a chance to work with everyone from SOR. The chill down my spine returned. You know what I mean. When you hear that one song that just does it for you. Well, my chill came when i saw these kids come up on the big stage. Eyes wide, everyone chatting with the other members of the band. They were so excited I thought they might forget how to play. But the best part, and I mean I was floored. All the professionals, me, the union crew, the sound and light guys, the backline guys...man, we went back to how it felt when we first started. We hooked them up, we gave them the full on rock star treatment. You need another amp, you want a stack, need some timbales', what else can we get you? It was such a pleasure to see musicians so excited to play. SOR not only teaches these youngsters how to be better players, but how to be better people. Every kid was polite, courteous, and thankful. How many teachers are doing that these days. If you have a chance to enroll your child, do it. It makes them not only better, but it makes everyone around them better. Keep on rocking SOR!”- Drew Pompilio, Havertown, Philadelphia, PA
“Our seven yearold daughter and son take vocals and drums at Philly School of Rock. We could not be happier with the individualized attention they receive for their own personalities, for their instruments, and for the music that motivates each of them. Each of their teachers is more than we could have asked for, and we have always been more than satisfied with the warmth and responsiveness of Jace, Dante and everyone "up front". Our daughter's first performance at an SoR weekly summer camp has demonstrably given her a new respect for herself, her abilities and what challenges her, and it has carried over into other aspects of her life. They can't get in the door of the school fast enough and we like hanging out there too.”- Amber Dorko Stopper & Ben Levin, parents of Claudia & Béla LevinDorko, Passyunk Square, Philadelphia
“When we decided to enroll our daughter, Julíssa, at School of Rock a year ago, we already knew that she had a strong interest in music. We knew that she had some ability which was untapped to its full potential, but also that her personal confidence level was low. We can't tell you how much her selfconfidence has soared since becoming part of Philly School of Rock! We've seen her come out of her shell, not be afraid to engage with the other kids in the program, and we see how much joy she has when she takes the stage for performance. We also like how she's learning to collaborate and really operate in a musical context where everyone is learning together, performing together, and making great music together.”- Sonya KukcinovichHill, Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, PA
“My daughter Lily Mabel began attending the School of Rock Philadelphia at age six. She focused on drums and had Corey Mark as her private teacher. She also attended the Rock 101 group jam sessions on the weekend. Corey has been a particularly kind and patient teacher allowing Lily Mable to continue to be a typical hyper kid while also keeping her and on task and helping her grow. Lily Mabel is now eight years old, in the performance section, and never fails to amaze me with her ever growing talent as a drummer. It clearly brings her tremendous joy and pride to perform in public and it is also obvious that working with other kids to tackle a song as a group has taught her a lot about team work. Her improvement over the past few years has also been a valuable lesson for her about working hard and practicing every day to get better at complex tasks. Therefore, I would (and do) recommend the School of Rock to any parent that has a child with an interest in music and also feel strongly that a lot more is taught at the School of Rock than just music, such as team work, the virtues of practice and patience and taking pride in doing a good job at something she worked hard on.”- Heather Rose, Lower Moyamensing, Philadelphia, PA
