So sad to say goodbye. It has been a second home for our son these 12 years and he and our family will truly miss all the phenomenal teachers and management and watching the performances. Bryan is the reason our son decided to continue with his music 12 years ago after he had quit another program and declared he was done with drums. Bryan is a wonderful role model, kind, professional, knowledgeable and a crazy talented musician in his own right. Along the way our son has had other many amazing teachers such as Trevor for bass and Steve for vocals. Again we are blown away by their amazing talent and teaching skills. Ait has been such a wonderful performance band director who allows all the students to shine and puts on amazing shows; again a very talented musician.
And a big part of what makes the Highwood School so exceptional is the management ..from Bryan the musical director to Maggie the over all manager and Danielle the Highwood operations manager. They are very professional, patient, and kind. I would encourage anyone who may have any concerns or questions to reach out to them.
And as a parent the things that matter the most in a program for my son are all here!! It has been fulfilling and made our son very happy, the instructors are reliable and excellent, the teachers and management truly care about my son, our son has learned great life skills of being a team player and working with students of various backgrounds, he has made life long friends, he has played at great venues and events, he has had a place to go outside of school and our neighborhood where he feels accepted and welcome, and he has become a phenomenal very skilled adaptable musician who can read music, and plays multiple instruments and in many genres.

We have been a School of Rock Highwood family for many years. All 4 of our kids have been involved. The programming has been one of the best things for our kids musical development. it is something that has given our kids confidence as they've progressed. They also love the social aspect of being part of the bands. They look forward to rehearsals where they can hang out with their friends. The teachers who give lessons or run band rehearsals have all been great and helped our kids on their musical journey. They take the time to really teach our kids and give them positive reinforcement. The shows are some of the best times for our family all year. We love the School of Rock Highwood and would recommend to anyone!
The instructors at Evanston School of Rock are amazing. Schaefer, Mac, and Scott have made a huge positive impact on our kids!

The office manager, front desk, and staff. It’s a wonderful community!
My daughter loves learning music at SOR! Maggie is so helpful and ALL of instructors we have loved. My daughter has make-up lessons from time to time and every time she meets a new instructor she says she likes them as much as who she is currently seeing. They are also pretty flexible with our schedule which is really helpful.
School Of Rock teachers are very accomplished musicians and really good at connecting with kids. Our son has had so much fun and has become more confident which carries over into his school and personal life.
