Why School of Rock?

There are many places that teach music lessons in Washington DC area but the School of Rock is the only music school that:

Specializes in teaching kids - Teaching kids is different than teaching adults and our curriculum and teaching style was developed especially for kids.
Specializes in Rock Music - All of our teachers are working Rock musicians. We believe there are meaningful theory, melody and rhythm lessons inherent in classic rock and our concerts are selected with these learning opportunities in mind.
Performs concerts year-round in real rock venues - Some of the other summer camp programs offer an opportunity to perform at the end of camp. They do so on a Friday afternoon for parents, siblings and grandparents. Though they are in a real rock venue, their performance doesn't vary from the school auditorium or church basement recital. The School of Rock performs in real rock venues (e.g. The State Theatre, Jammin' Java) in front of all-ages paying audiences, inclusive of friends and family of course. These performances occur three-to-four times per year.
Provides both one-on-one and group rehearsals - Our students benefit from 45-minute, one-on-one lessons once a week with an instructor plus a weekly (most weeks) three-hour group rehearsal. These two different learning environments enable the greatest advancement in playing ability as well as the most fun.
Provides the greatest value - With nearly four hours of instruction/rehearsal in a typical week, the School of Rock is a great value.
Does not require contracts - Because some of our students are exploring music as one of many extra-curricular activities in order to decide what they enjoy we do not require a contract. You pay tuition on a monthly basis and if your child wants to quit you do so without penalty. To date we have a 94% retention rate of students.

All we do is teach rock music performance to students 7-17 years old. We believe we do it better than anyone else. Don't take our word for it, though. See what other parents have to say. See "What Are Current Parents Saying About The School?"
