School of Rock at a glance

Google reviewers rate the Memphis location five stars, highlighting effective instruction across guitar, drums, and voice lessons for both children and adults. Recurring themes include patient staff, strong student bonds, and the confidence building gained through regular group performances and private lessons. Scheduling flexibility and clear communication are also noted as positive operational aspects. The only minor criticism involves the advanced nature of the curriculum, which may make beginners feel out of place during initial sessions.

My son enjoyed his experience at this camp. I was impressed with his being taught 3 songs in one week and being able to display what he learned during a concert at the end of the camp. While he has taken piano for the last 3 years as part of a different program, I am glad he decided to expand his interest in music…

My son is ten, and he’s played guitar at School of Rock for two years. He’s had several teachers, and they have all been incredibly helpful and talented and all have the gift for working with kids. He’s also in one of the bands, and those shows are beyond awesome. If you’re a fan of roots rock, classic rock, and…

My son enjoyed his experience at this camp. I was impressed with his being taught 3 songs in one week and being able to display what he learned during a concert at the end of the camp. While he has taken piano for the last 3 years as part of a different program, I am glad he decided to expand his interest in music and felt comfortable doing it at the School of Rock.

Thanks for the amazing review! We loved having you guys at camp, and remember our programs run year round. So imagine what he might accomplish in an ongoing program versus just one week! Thanks again!!!

He’s also in one of the bands, and those shows are beyond awesome. If you’re a fan of roots rock, classic rock, and alternative you will appreciate the choice of music - from Little Richard to Green Day.

When our son expressed an interest in drum lessons, we looked at several options. One of our neighbors is a seasoned session drummer, so we considered private lessons with him, along with a couple of programs we'd heard about through friends. We decided on School of Rock, and have watched our son's love of music and drumming skills grow beyond our expectations. His drum instructor, Bry, has been patient, enthusiastic, and always models professionalism. The whole staff is impressive, not just as talented musicians and performers, but in their dedication to the students. Great communication with parents, too. The shows are fun and it's been a joy seeing how much he progresses from season to season. We've never regretted our decision to go with School of Rock. Highly recommend!

I feel like this program has given my child more confidence outside of school. Something she can excel in that isn't driven by academics or testing. I also feel like the instructors and band directors are great at what they do and the organization as a whole is run really well. We hope to see her with School of Rock until she graduates from HS!
