*****

I have been a student at School of Rock for about 4 years and it has changed my life. Because of the valuble life skills I learned through performance and teamwork, I have become a confident, hard-working, responsible student and person. The staff here are role-models and great friends. I am now in a performing band with musicians that I have met through School of Rock, and my experience with the school has enhanced our ability to be successful with our original music. I have been a straight A student this year, and I don't think that I would have earned those grades without the time management and responsibility skills that I learned through School of Rock. I highly recommend the school to aspiring musicians or performers, for you will rock on stage and in life.
