Making Music Come ALIVE!

ust as rock was revolutionary, the School of Rock methods for teaching rock are pretty revolutionary, too. Their instruction is both song and performance based. Students have two different types of lessons each week, a one-on-one lesson with an instructor and a group lesson where they rehearse with other students. Students work toward putting together two live shows per term. Each week they learn technique MONTCLAIR, NJ and basic theory from their teachers all within the framework of learning a classic rock song. Students also have access to a proprietary Method App™ which contains tutorials, exercises, background tracks to help them practice and more than 1,000 songs. In their groups they learn how to work together, why they need to practice in order to perform and how to communicate within their band. It all comes together on stage. One of their students summed it up, “I like the fact that no matter what level of musician you are, the School of Rock encourages you to put forth your best effort, making students feel comfortable where they are in their journey. I believe this inspires the will to learn more and become a better musician, which is why I go there.”
