Customer Testimonials

Marc!!

What do I like about the programs? Adriene Bible and Marc Reczek. It's really that simple.

Adriene has been Kay's vocal instructor for almost a year now and we couldn't be any happier with the her. She is kind, warm, funny and focused. She has become a "musical" big sister and she is adored by our entire family. She is a strong support system for Kay if she's had a bad day and the biggest cheerleader when good things happen. She not only works tirelessly with Kay on her SoR stuff but she understands the classical training Kay is getting through high school choir and takes all of that into consideration. She listens to Kay when she voices apprehension about something and is able to work through the tough spots like a mentor should. She encourages Kay to step out of her box and try new things, new sounds, new genres. She has taught Kay the importance of warming up your vocals, following through and getting out of your own head. Adriene is an amazing human being with a good heart, a killer voice and an dazzling smile. We could not be happier with her.

Marc Reczek- he is no stranger to my feedback. That man moves mountains. He has been working with Kay for almost 2 years now and the changes we've seen are impressive. He challenges her to rise above merely what is required to play the song and to delve deeper into the song construction- chords, changes in tempo, charting, etc. Being that Kay has been an SoR student for almost 4 years, Marc encourages her to help teach the newer students the SoR way of life. It's about fun, music and friends. This has allowed her to be able to help new students feel completely welcomed in the groups. Marc brings out her inner stage beast. He encourages without coddling. He's tough yet celebratory. He holds Kay accountable to herself, to him, to the performance group and to a higher standard.

We've been through some rather tumultuous times with SoR for the last couple of years with instructors coming and going and having to switch schools completely. I wasn't sure Kay was going to stick it out through the hard times but I'm very pleased with the way Champion Forest has welcomed her to their family. Carolyn runs a tight ship and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. The school is always clean, safe and brimming with activity. The smiles and greetings when you walk in the door just bring happiness and sense of belonging. As a parent, watching your child lose the one thing she loved the most is devastating, but finding it again at SoR Champion Forest has been a blessing. Kay just wanted a place to belong, somewhere she could be herself and let her inner rock star thrive. She needed to get back to the root of it all and just play some music. She has been able to find her happy place again at SoR Champion Forest. For that, all I can say is Thank You.

The managers and teachers, make good team driving the kids to learn and grow in their musical aspirations . Good environment for the kids increase social skills.

I like that our kids are given a good outlet for performing music they enjoy and learn some theory along the way.

It makes music fun. It's friendly. It's casual. The showcase concert is very professional and gives the students a chance to perform in front of people and feel like a rock star.

The kids have fun and learn how to play individually and in a group.

At the end of the day, it's about the people working there, and Marc and his crew are the best.

I love how attentive and caring the instructors are. They work hard to make sure the students are progressing and learning important things that relate to what the student is interested in. It's a fun and safe environment that makes the students feel like they are cared for and have someone who supports them and that wants them to be successful.

Willing to work at my pace and on music I want to learn.

Great Instructors!

Fun, group centered,

Intensity and sensitivity of your talent for reaching the students like nobody else.

My daughter is having fun and learning!!

Marc has continued to challenge Kay in her lessons and group rehearsals. She needs that type of instruction. He has asked her to play some hard stuff but it's super fun and she is enjoying her new SoR home. I see her thriving again and she's much happier now. Marc is irreplaceable- he makes Kay rise to another level that she never knew she could achieve.
Adriene is expanding Kay's vocal range by intertwining rock music performance with classical voice instruction. This is allowing Kay to continue to thrive within SoR but also in her choir program at her high school. They also talk about college and Kay's future. Adriene is an amazing person and I'm so thankful she has come into Kay's life. She needed a person like Adriene after all the shakeups she has been through with other vocal instructors.
Kay has had a tumultuous year at another SoR campus and being able to find a landing spot at Champion Forest has given her back the stability and joy she once had. The entire staff at CF is friendly and upbeat, everyone seems to be happy to be there. The school is warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. We are very happy we switched to the Champion Forest campus.

Flexibility

I like the amount of instruction time, the weekly feedback and opportunity for advanced students to participate in the House band.

Lessons are fantastic, but lessons by their very nature rather sterile and insular. The real value of SoR comes from taking what you learn in the lessons and being able to apply it in a group setting and play successfully with people.

My son is excited to go to the School of Rock, it isn't a chore for him. He came home from his first lesson and was able to play a song, one that we actually enjoyed listening to! Music is now a part of him, and he will carry that love for the rest of his life.

My daughter loves playing in a band!

Interest in my learning what I want to learn.

Fun, interactive and a good learning experience!

Everything but the cost!

The team really knows their stuff and they go to great lengths to create a warm, welcoming and fun environment for students.

We are very happy we transferred to CF. Adriene is an amazing vocal instructor and Kay LOVES her time with her!
Marc, of course, is the best guitar instructor for Kay and I'm so glad we followed him there.

The school is always clean and very inviting. Carolyn is amazing! The entire staff at CF is awesome and we are extremely pleased with our experience there.

My childvis really having fun and learning to play guitar. Its a great model and being a part of a band is the best part!

The most valuable part for me is learning to play with other people. The lessons are great, but Grad School is even better.

It is another family. The staff always make my kids feel welcomed and they are always excited to to share what they have learned!

Ability to practice throughout the week

Love the one on one lessons weekly and having performance at the end of the season. Everyone is very friendly and get exited to see our kids come in.

My 2 instructors have been great my 2nd has really explained music theory in a way I understand it's been a big help
