B2R gives kids the opportunity to work together with a band to learn their favorite songs under the guidance of a teacher who knows, loves, and can play the same music. My kid loves this place. He practices everyday to get ready for his band lesson on Thursdays. terrific.
The kids get to play concerts in front of people. The kids get to work together on projects (songs) that require all to contribute. New ideas, artistic expression, coming out of your shell, stage presence, and creativity are encouraged. Opposite of other "cencert" schools, the kids DO play gigs a lot, and are free to choose their own music. The reason we chose B2R over a competitor was because the competitor forced songs on the kids. B2R kids have their own say in songs they can choose. And the teachers are wildly musical themselves.
My son loved his time there. They started him with a program adaptable to his age - introducing kids to the basic tenets of sound and rhythm through playful sessions. They are patient and nice to the kids. Overall, I think it was a great experience for our son considering this was his first music school.
Bach2Rock gets kids on stage. The bands get to perform all over the area dozens of times a semester. It is terrific. The musicians/teachers who work there are serious, enthusiastic and weird. Everything you could want in a music school. Great teachers, great atmosphere, awesome opportunities to play out in front of audiences.
This place has been great to work with for the past few years that my daughter has been taking piano lessons. Easy flexibility with rescheduling and changing lesson times. Great communication as far as lessons and progress. Highly recommend!
Bach2Rock let's kids choose the songs the kids want to play. Other schools force kids to choose from a limited list of pop songs. Bach2Rock encourages a wide variety of musical tastes and helps the kids learn the songs the kids want to learn. Bach2Rock also gives everyone the chance to play on stage. Other schools make the kids compete for limited space for stage performances. Bach2Rock also far out competes the other schools with the number of performance opportunities. I know family friends who go to another school, and they had 3 total performances last year. My son had 4 times that many performances. Where do the children play? Bach2Rock! (there was just a Cat Stevens song in the background)
Kids n Keys is a great way to get started on keyboard lessons. Our son enjoys it thoroughly and the feedback after each lesson helps identify what to practice at home. I really like the kid friendly approach with simple songs. The instructors have been wonderfully patient and kind. Happy to have found B2R.
