Customer Testimonials
The instructors and feedback from them. Also, the ability to work with others in band atmosphere
Our teacher is Windy. She's been great with our son and has challenged him to work hard and apply himself. Really enjoying the new app where we can see detailed info on what he's understanding well and other things he is finding more challenging.
We've gone to classical teachers/schools, Guitar Center instruction, and plenty of other approaches trying to find teachers and programs that can inspire and share how fun music can be......we've definitely found it at School of Rock with Windy and playing with other kids in Performance.
I love how much my daughter has learned through School of Rock. Not only has she learned to play guitar and bass very well, but she has also learned to work with other musicians as they prepare for the seasons show. I also love getting to watch the live performances each season!
My son has learned how to play guitar and is happy to be part of a group ..
It has been so great to see the growth in my son over the years. I love the coordination of private lessons with performance group. It makes it more relevant to learn a song and then play it with a band. The shows are so fantastic, I’m always amazed at how talented the kids are, definitely one of my favorite days of the year!
My daughter enjoys the class and shares with us that all the musicians are great and dynamic. She is not just learning guitar, she is having a lot of fun and making friends.
I like the structure of learn > practice > rehearse > perform
Your team in Elmhurst are really easy to work with, easy going, encouraging and an all round fun group
No big egos! sometimes hard to find in the music world

School of Rock has been a fantastic experience for our son! He loves going every week, both for his group lesson and private instruction. It's really developed his love for music and appreciation for different music genres. The staff at Hinsdale SOR is incredible and so accommodating. Thanks for all you do!
My son loves it! He has so much fun there.
My daughter loves and has learned so much.
Instructors
Open communication
I appreciate every single time I have called, whomever I talk to(especially Rachael) answers All my questions and goes above and beyond with my inquiries. I feel you are truly dedicated to offering my kids a meaningful and productive experience. I have been comfortable with Naperville school of rock from my first contact. Staff has always given me the feeling my kids are not just clients but individuals with their own unique strengths and challenges.
Very child friendly. Simple fundamental lessons for the littlest of musicians.
The kids get to learn and play the songs that they are interested in.
I love the variety of the songs! I also appreciate that our instructor CJ can be flexible and pushes my son further after he's mastered the required songs.
I think it's great that during band practice the kids can play other instruments and experience other things while another child is playing a song.
My son loves coming and to me that's the most important thing. His love of music and drums is being fostered.
Great instructors, atmosphere that encourages creativity.
Keep the kids focus,and they have fun and make friends at the same time.
The Naperville SoR is staffed with highly qualified management personnel and instructors. Sean Walker and his staff engage well with the students and parents. I highly recommend.
Great instructors. Motivate students.
It’s a fresh approach for Logan and he’s really taken to it. We love the clubhouse atmosphere and Logan really likes his instructor. As a parent, I think the weekly notes email is a great idea!
The atmosphere is very positive and the instructors are cool.
I like that my son is learning to play something other than "Hot Cross Buns"! He's come to appreciate rock music in a way he wouldn't have been able to otherwise; he has even reconnected his dad and me with a lot of things we haven't listened to in many years. Beyond the music, being able to hang out and work with other kids of different ages and different personalities is a valuable experience as well.
Individually tailored
Program has been fantastic. Kids enjoy playing at SOR and at home!
The programs gently push kids out of their comfort zones and allows them to be more creative and expressive. The programs are as challenging as you want them to be. The instructors provide excellent feedback.
warm supportive atmosohere, fun teachers, encouragement
School of Rock is an outstanding program! Kids learn incredible musical skills through the lessons and opportunity to play with other musicians. They are offered performance opportunities which take their skills to another level. Also, the entire staff offers so much positivity and support!
School of Rock is THE BEST extracurricular we've found for any of our kids! It's solid musical instruction, and combining individual lessons with group dynamics every week results in awesome progress and motivation for the kids. The real-world performance opportunities are the biggest motivation of all. My son wants to be a rock star, and School of Rock is making his dreams tangible. We love School of Rock!
I like that my son feels like he’s part of a group ( the band). He loves his instructors and looks forward to each lesson and group session. The staff is friendly and first rate!
My kids love their instructors...love the choice of songs and overall feel when we come into the school!
