School of Rock Albany

My 12 year old daughter had an amazing time at camp. She didn't have a lot of experience singing with a live band but she said everyone was incredibly supportive and all of the other campers were very kind and encouraging. She especially liked teachers Tess and Dave. She's looking forward to getting involved more this fall.

Within just one session, we noticed a huge confidence boost in our child, and he’s now on a journey to be a multi-instrument musician. The staff members are fantastic, and they really excel at making music a truly enjoyable experience.

My son has been part of the program for 3 years now. He has excelled in it. The school of rock does a great job of teaching and putting real life into rockstar. The events of going out into public venues and performing as a band are so unique and priceless.

My kids love going to the lessons and learning new songs. My son is always a struggle to convince to leave the house for anything except his drum lessons. My daughter just started on guitar and she loves School of Rock also. We love seeing the kids so into learning about music. Their instructors are great with both of them.

My son, who is 10 years old, started Drum Lessons with Dave in October of 2017. School of Rock has been the best decision we ever made, in terms of music instruction for our son. First of all, the school has true to Rock , old and modern genre. We see kids from 6 years old, right on up through high school going in and out of all of the different instruction rooms. School of Rock, being local, is a gift to us. There are many choices of instrumental instruction at this school, age and ability levels, and even vocals. When these kids move up to a "House Band" status and play together, it's simply like a listening to your favorite bands and music on the radio. Our son was not interested in the basic school taught instruments, which are wonderful for many, and he loves music, but the kinds of music he prefers is taught by The School of Rock. Our sons energy level is also high, the drums were a perfect fit, its been his very own energy release, that he owns now. He has come so far and we thank Jesse and Dave for working with our schedules and Dave's amazing instinct and "knack" of knowing what our son needs to learn, and when. Especially grateful for Dave's patience. We would never go anywhere else, and recommend anyone to give it a go....whether very young, or anyone older, who has wished they learned to play years ago. You will not be disappointed.
