School of Rock Rockwall I never thought I would be writing…read morea negative review for SOR Rockwall but I feel my granddaughter needs to be heard. She cherished the past 61/2 years with SOR Rockwall. However, she has been in the program for the past 7 years. When a senior leaves the program there are 2 major events that occur. One is the student will receive a plaque depicting their time there. She received the plaque with the wrong last name and she said, "it's okay they are really busy with the new studio". In all fairness one of the owners had a medical emergency and we totally understand. She was given a corrected photo and told she could replace it. Second, is the senior gets to choose a senior song where they are showcased during the concert. She never even got to tell them her song choice. Again a lot of changes so we were disappointed but okay. Her final concert was July 27, and as we walked out, no one from the SOR said anything to her. She was on social media and another senior from the same SOR had their plaque correct and a senior song. There was postings of the SOR staff celebrating the other students at the same venue we were at. The last 6 months are her final moments at SOR, and her memories at this time are true devastation.

Scheduled a violin lesson for my daughter. it went well gave my credit card information and I was…read moregoing to sign up. Scheduled another lesson for the following Saturday at 12 noon. Got a call in the middle of the week and said instructor was all booked up and was suggested to book with another instructor there at the school. so I scheduled with another instructor on Saturday 12 noon. Call ahead to make sure everything was scheduled correctly on Saturday morning and they told me they did not have her scheduled. The school did not try to reschedule and basically said they don't have any records of anybody calling me. I was just told I will get a call on Monday to discuss situation no call on Monday so beware they do not follow through on what they say nor try to make it right. with a lot of violin teachers out there you can find one who will operate with integrity.

Nice guys, took my guitar in for a setup. Unfortunately, Never got to actually talk to the luthier…read moreor even got any info about my guitar or what he did. When I got it back, the intonation was still off and I'm not sure they really did anything. They also told me it would be available on Tuesday but they never called. When I called they were closed. I guess they closed early for the holidays. I left a voicemail and never got a call back. I ended up having to call them a few days later and was told it was ready. It would have been nice to get a call telling me what was done and when it was ready. TLDR: Might be a good shop but poor communication means I'll go elsewhere.

Coming in from Florence to visit my in-laws who live just down the road from this shop, I had to…read moreswing by and check them out on this trip as I have been meaning to for the last five years. Brett Morrison greeted me upon entering and gave me the tour of his cute little boutique guitar shop. I call it boutique because they have their own line of guitars and are so far removed from the heartless Guitar Center experience. They are a huge breath of fresh air in a soulless world of shopping mass produced guitars that are average at best. Their guitars are not for beginners looking for cheap $150 starter guitar kits. But if you have been playing for a few years and like me know that it's more than just a passing interest, they have some wonderful instruments. They have their own guitar line designed to their specs and after handling them I can tell you that the construction and finish on them are excellent! I found a few that really peaked my interest, and Brent spent a lot of time with me showing me different guitars and just shooting the breeze with me, without the hard sell which was much appreciated. Check this place out if you're n the neighborhood, you won't be disappointed.

Very unprofessional and completely lacking in communication. They constantly cancel classes and…read moreonly inform you once you arrive. Imagine driving an hour just to find out your class is canceled--not just once, but most of the time. We clearly communicated and requested that they notify us at least a few hours in advance so we wouldn't waste the trip, but they never did. They never apologize or offer any consideration, yet if you try to reschedule, they make you pay. Stay away from this school--you don't want the disappointment.

A teacher myself, I knew musical exposure helped with cognitive as well as sensory motor skills, but I had no idea how much my son would gain from this interactive program. Danielle is a gifted and patient instructor who integrates a variety of methods to engage and entertain. My 5 year old graduated Kinderbach with so much more than a knowledge of how to play piano. I've seen the benefits span so much wider than I ever envisioned. This is a fantastic opportunity to invest in your child's future!

KinderBach is the perfect introduction for young children who show an interest in learning about music and piano, but may not be ready for traditional private piano lessons. Many studios will not allow children under the age of 7 to begin piano lessons. However, because the KinderBach program uses a simple approach that is based on enchanting cartoon characters and a variety of multi-media activities in addition to playing the piano, it's the perfect way for young children to begin to learn important foundational skills while having fun and avoiding the kind of frustration that is often experienced in traditional lessons. KinderBach is taught in small groups of 2-4 students that meet for 30 minutes once a week.
