Education: Tutoring / Training / School / Colleges & Universities
School of Rock is the world’s largest performance-based music school, with over 450 locations in 16 countries. We teach guitar, bass, vocals, drums, and keyboards to all ages and skill levels.
Traditional music education rarely teach students how to perform with other musicians. The School of Rock Method is different. We combine one-on-one instruction with group rehearsals and live performances, teaching students how to play together as a band. Our recitals are rock shows at real venues in front of live audiences.
Our SongFirst approach uses classic songs to teach technique and theory. This method helps students remain excited about their music education and eager to practice. For example, we may teach students how to play a classic rock guitar solo, and use it as the foundation for introducing scales and mechanics.
Because our Method is designed to prepare students for performing live, we have created our own Method Books to teach not only technique, but also musicianship for the stage. They demystify complex topics by putting them in context of popular songs.
Our Method App provides integrated tools that support, facilitate and encourage students to advance skills between lessons, and accelerate their path to the stage. It features exercises assigned by instructors, real-time interactive feedback, thousands of song transcriptions, and customizable song backing tracks that allow students to rehearse with other instruments.
Our patented School of Rock Method has been refined and perfected for over 20 years, culminating in a music education system that is proven to teach music.
