This is the perfect place to send your musically artistic and even challenged kiddos. The staff is so patient and will turn that kid into a vision of artistry in no time. The summer camps are a great way to start and music lessons are like therapy for anyone and the friendships created from the seasonal bands are forever! They have loads of times and options to work with your schedule and flexibility. They also offer sessions for adults... that way you never grow old! Highly recommend read more

We sent our child there every week for about five months. They never told us anything, other than she's doing well. $230 for 45 minutes four times a months... They had a very quiet person teaching her. We found out after about two months that they were sending us emails with instructions to help her practice. after the 5 months and over $900 she's learned absolutely nothing! as a matter of fact, she was singing better before she was there and we have recordings to prove it. read more

The general manager, Etti, cancelled all of my lessons without letting me know. I had cancelled (in advance) once in three months.

As a kid who was put into school of rock by my parents it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I had no sense of purpose and had no clue what I wanted to do with my life before I went here. School of rock has given me purpose. I love music and every week I get to be surrounded by other people who love music and we get to drive our passion to create art. Every teacher has a different way of teaching so maybe the first teacher is not what you're looking for. I really recommend paying for one month and trying 4 different teachers. Once you find a teacher that can teach you the most effectively it just becomes a blast. I truly believe that this organization is providing the best possible thing for children, purpose. read more

This place could be so great. If instructors had any training in music education, if the owner cared about the students more than the money, I could go on. There is no customer service if you have complaints. They offer the group setting, but it's not fully supervised and some kids are bullies. In lessons they don't teach music they just play a song. If it was focused on the experience of the students this would be a wonderful place. It's too bad they have a monopoly on the groups. read more

School of rock is AWESOME! We did a team building event there & it was so fun because they made everyone feel comfortable. The decor is perfect for a rock school and the programs that are available accommodate all levels! Thank you School of Rock! read more

School of Rock - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I love this place! Nine months ago, we stopped in for my son who was interested in playing bass guitar. Megan was fantastic and gave us a tour right on the spot. She offered my son a free lesson the following week, so we accepted her offer. My son had his first lesson with James and was so impressed. We signed up for weekly lessons. After a few months, my son was encouraged to be in a show since he had picked up playing so quickly. We signed him up for a show; Weezer. Four months go by and he played his first show at Whisky Row. Can I say it was fantastic! He is now in his second show; Queen and decided to add another show to his schedule; Alice Cooper and KISS. He is having a blast! I absolutely love all of the staff! They are wonderful! Thank you for such a great experience. If your thinking of performing or playing an instrument. Give this place a shot. They are awesome! read more

Great experience, our son loves his teacher and is learning a lot. Great environment and community!

This is possibly a great place for the kids as parents expect to pay for lessons and the band experiences for their kids. The guitar instructor I worked with in GIlbert was great too, as were the other adult students. I've been a musician for over 50 years and play 4 different instruments well. And I am always have been prepared to play with groups and practice a lot. I would never let my band mates down especially for a public performance. But I don't have the time to take weekly lessons on top of the band time because of my work schedule and the cost. So, I was forced to quit. This works this way at both the Gilbert and Scottsdale locations. It's not a nationwide policy thankfully. Unfortunately, the only other location near me in Ahwatukee closed down. I honestly did not feel much like a customer at SOR. I am hopeful to find other opportunities to play music with others in the area. read more

This is not a safe place for students. Unfortunately, it took us a while to see what was going on there. Be warned! Save your kids and put them in another program. The people who manage the place do not have children and do not know how to handle any situations that arise. They also do not keep parents informed of potential hazards at the school. Instructors are great but have zero say in what goes on there. Parents and students also are penalized if they question anything. Kids leave all the time and there's a reason for that. Please be careful. We trusted them with our child and that trust was shattered and in turn they deeply hurt a kind and sensitive soul. The damage they caused him will not soon be healed. So saddened and disappointed with the experience. read more

GREAT PROGRAM !!! they are making more than rock stars they are making confident adults ready for the world, the change ive seen in my son in the last few years cant be taught at a high school. all of the instructors show a passion for music and the kids that's is amazing. the friendships that my son has made there I can say are going to be lifelong friendships. I cant thank Megan and Shane enough for the love and passion they have shown my son since he has enrolled... I just wish there was a stronger word to use than thank you . read more

I enrolled my daughter at School of Rock Gilbert because, while she had a great voice and rock star aspirations, she had, quite literally, no stage presence. At recitals she'd stand with her arms crossed and looked like she couldn't wait to get off the stage. We enrolled about a month in to the first season, about 2 weeks before the mid-season show. At the show, she was somewhat nervous. When she sang her first words and heard the crowd cheer for her, something changed in her. By the end of season show she was a very different performer. She interacted with the crowd, talked to the bandmates, danced, and belted out her songs like nobody's business! School of Rock did wonders for my kid. I cried, I was so proud of her progress. Better yet, she was proud of herself! She now refers to SoR as "home" and says she feels most comfortable when she is there. She loves her friends, and the staff is amazing. Shane and Megan, and all of the teachers, are very experienced in performing and, more importantly, LOVE WORKING WITH THESE KIDS! You can see it in their faces when the kids show up, they're not there to make a buck, they're there because they love it. Autumn, who is generally in charge of the place, does a fantastic job and is super friendly. When people ask me the cost, they always say it's high. But for the performance program you get nearly 4 hours of direct instruction every week. Additionally, kids are encouraged to come in on their off days to practice, to hang out with the other kids, to start their own bands with their peers, or just to hang out in the lounge and work on homework. You are getting a full package deal, here. Mentors, friends, and the invaluable networking that is so valuable in the music world. Call them. You'll get a free lesson and can tour the studio, and even watch a rehearsal before you make up your mind. But I bet once you and your little rock star see the place and feel the vibes there, you'll want to be there all the time. Now, if only they offered tutoring... :) read more

We were new to town. Megan is amazing. Every instructor is not only super talented but they have helped my 2 kids so much with confidence and music. Husband is next in line for lessons and we are so grateful for finding this awesome place. read more

great staff, communication is awesome, cool school-everyone is friendly and it just is a great environment. My 6 year old daughter LOVES it! read more

Amazing staff and overall concept at School of Rock. My daughter just started taking guitar, and they were able to get her playing a Green Day song in lesson #1. I'm very excited to watch her grow and learn in this program! read more

What a great place to build self esteem for kids. My son made cool Rocker friends at School of Rock and even started his own band (Good Boy Daisy). They have gigs all the time and making a name for themselves. I have to honestly say, if it wasn't for School of Rock, there would be no band. The staff is top notch and makes everyone feel at home. Be ready for your kid to loosen up! read more

WOW! the owners of this School of Rock studio have a obvius passion for music and kids !!!!

What an amazing place. We did a team building event in here. Not only did they help us bond closer as teammates, but when we were done we felt more connected and walked away having completed a task none of us were comfortable doing. Heck, none of us even had any music experience and we sounded good. If you're looking for a place to bond and grow your team this is the place! read more

my son really enjoys his time at school of rock. he gets to hang out with other kids who love music and they are all nice!

Our son has been going here for the past months. he loves the interaction with the kids, and getting to play guitar with the other kids. The staff has been great too!!! read more

Just signed my son up, the customer service was awesome! Autumn was great and so welcoming. He is so excited!
