Not sure any review of the School of Rock in Somerville would do it justice but I'm going to give…read moreit a shot... Last October our son Matt enrolled in guitar lessons at the SOR in Somerville with very little experience but I noticed a lot of ability which was quickly obvious after a month with his guitar teacher Kylan who is absolutely incredible!!! After a month, in November he also enrolled in a band program there and due to his age landed him in the adult band program "The Barrikades" which just happened to be led and instructed by his teacher where the way we looked at it, the more time with Kylan the better! After just 3 rehearsals, Matt was able play and sit in on a few songs at a house show they did... after 4 months he was able to play another house show doing even more songs with them... and after just 6 months at a recent adult band house show, Kylan had the confidence in Matt to play most of the songs on his own and all The Barrikades did an awesome job for a great entertaining show! It really is hard to believe this all happened for our son in less than a year and although some may say maybe it's due to more the ability of an individual, it really doesn't happen without the instruction and confidence Matt got and gets from his teacher Kylan. Megan, Ally, Hailey and the whole staff at the SOR in Somerville have been fantastic and professional to deal with... in fact Matt as a lefty guitarist (where it not being so easy to walk in music stores and locate lefty guitars)... one of the owners John helped locate a great lefty Jackson electric guitar and then a beautiful lefty Fender acoustic guitar which we then easily purchased directly through the school. This SOR location is truly amazing... I can't sing enough praises!!! (yes, pun intended)

Agree teachers are great but admin/owner is terrible…read more If you cancel a session the day of because your child is sick, you just lose that day/money and are not offered a make-up because it's a 'late cancel'. Apparently, they want you to upgrade the package in order to be able to cancel if your child is sick? A fair sick cancellation policy should NOT be dependent on a more expensive package. That's completely ridiculous. Meanwhile, if the instructor 'late cancels', we don't get a refund....instead, we are forced to do a make-up session even when the make-up times/days is not convenient for us. We don't get a refund....they make sure THEY don't lose money, but you are out of luck if your child wakes up sick.

First let me say, the instructors are great and my child's teacher is awesome!!!…read more School administration is poor, really rude , not flexible and only want to make money, they will use every trick in their pocket to charge you without actually giving your child a lesson, for example "you cancelled 23 hours and 59 minutes before the lesson, the policy is 24 hours so you don't get any credit " or "you have to cancel online and we can't do it over the phone so we are doing you a favour cancelling , oh and by the way since you cancelled over the phone you get no credit " or they can call you 30 minutes before the lesson to cancel, doesn't matter if you are already there, but you have to cancel 24 hrs ahead of time. The staff is rude and all they do is just read the policy to you. So if I could give a 0 for service I would. Facilities are poor as well, you walk in every time it smells disgusting and that is not just one time, it is every time. Beyond that, there is no sound proofing at all, you can hear what the student next to you are playing even if is a soft piano, they might as well be in the same room. The only saving grace are the excellence teachers they have.
