For those of us who missed out on the music bus in our youth, the SOR Adult Program is a great opportunity to live out your rock and roll dreams. Great individual and band instruction culminating in a performance in front of family and friends. Some special effects included 😀.

Finding school of Rock was a game changer for us! Our daughter had a great intro with a week of summer camp. Now she loves guitar lessons with Dylan and had a blast in the 90s performance band. She can’t wait to do more!

Extremely fun experience meeting other musicians. The teachers and the directors of the performances have a lot of patience with us, 'the students'. You get to learn songs outside of your comfort zone. For myself personally, it's a lot of fun, and a really good vibe at The School of Rock Downingtown.
