The musical was amazing. The lights and the setting was amazing. And the music was incredible the kids were insane. But the best part was, I got to meet Jack black!!!! He was really cool.

We absolutely LOVE School of Rock! Great instructors and so much fun! Music + learning made fun, what more can you ask for?#Longliverock!

Great teachers and curriculum! My daughter is learning to play electric guitar and she loves all the songs she’s learning, and loves her teacher.

As an guy who last played music in high school, I was looking around in New York for evening classes to pick up on my (somewhat rusty) piano, (almost nonexistent) guitar, and (totally untrained) singing skills. Where better to combine these than at the School of Rock? I signed up to some summer jam sessions and immediately signed up again with the adult program - individual lessons and supervised band rehearsals.Friendly and fun, the teachers and staff are always accommodating and contribute to a happy, relaxed atmosphere. Performance nerves ebb away as our band improves in rehearsals. At our live performance we rock out at the legendary Bitter End!

Great personal lessons! Jake is awesome and really helps me improve. The group band is an amazing motivator to keep practicing and improving. Its so much fun! Miss it while in lockdown ☹️

My daughter loves learning drums and playing in the band at School of Rock! I highly recommend this school! The teachers and staff are awesome!

It was my first Broadway experience and it was fun and amazing! I didnt think i would be into musicals but this honestly was an awesome experience.

This School of Rock on the UES is just awesome! Our son has been taking drums there for a few years now so we had already drunk the Kool Aid, so to speak, but during this time of remote learning, I wasnt sure how or if it would work. But they have more than stepped up and erased any doubts I may have had. In fact, we signed our daughter up for remote lessons too and plan to enroll her in person when the world opens up again. And I, who has absolutely no music experience what so ever and am significantly older than the typical SOR clientele, started taking remote guitar lessons with them too. Im so impressed with the quality of the instructors, the flexibility of the staff and the sense of community they have enveloped at this difficult time. Feels more like a Family of Rock than a school!

The best of 4 Theaters Ive been to!Many bathrooms.Longer space between sit lines.Very friendly staff.Very good voices.Amazing skills by the kids.Incredible production on the fast stage changing scenarios.But,Big freaking but,They should let the audience know they dont have the right to play any of the good rock songs from the movie!Plus. Jack Black is impossible to emmulate.

Great teachers, very user-friendly programs and lessons and the location is great. Lots of availability for kids who have busy schedules. They are very flexible and the teachers are nice.

School of Rock has changed my son’s life! He found his thing in drumming. He started with private lessons, quickly moved on to Rock 101 and has now done 4 performance groups. He loves the music he has learned (David Bowie, Beastie Boys, Beck, Fleetwood Mac, The Cure, Tina Turner, Heart etc). His teachers have been fantastic and the program is well run. I recommend School of Rock (upper East Side) to all my friends!

We love everything about the program. The SOR manhattan is a wonderfully creative, supportive, and thoughtful experience for kids. They really encourage kids to take chances , try new things and work towards common goals. They program is remarkable in that it helps the kids gain confidence and feel capable of success. It also happens to be an extraordinary wonderful place to learn about music, instrumental skills and performance. Lastly, I will say the people who work there are magnificent. They are kind, dedicated to the kids and fabulous teachers.

My son has been a student at the school of rock for 6 years and we have had an absolutely wonderful experience there. I was looking for an avenue for him to play with more experienced students and the SOR was the perfect place to learn collaboration, community, and be exposed to to music that we love and want to pass along to the next generation of musicians and fans. The staff are uniformly excellent! I would recommend this program to parents without qualification.

School of Rock provides serious music instruction but teaches in a way that is totally fun and allows kids to be themselves! I love school of rock and highly recommend it to all my parent friends. 😎

The program is tailored to my kids music interests and the teacher is fun and encouraging. The learning curve for my 8 year old has been steep. He loves it!!!!

We like that the kids get to experience playing their instrument in a band.They not only learn to play great rock songs but get to practice their performance skills as well as be in a collaborative environment with other talented people.

Wonderful place to grow as a musician. The teachers are professional, caring and super talented. Highly recommend!!

Staff is Knowledgeable and Professional. My daighter has done the Performance Program as well as the standard lessons and both were a great experience and a confidence building experience.

If School of Rock had existed when I was a kid, I would be a rock star. This place is incredible. Playing music with other people is many multiples better than rote lessons. My kid wasn’t naturally inclined to music, but fell in love wIth it at SOR.

Amazing place to learn the skill and grow one’s commitment to music. Professional, inspiring, caring.

I have nothing but praise for School of Rock NYC. Extremely professional with every detail.

Teachers are so cool and teach in such a manner that my daughter cant wait until the following week for her next lesson!

Here is what I wrote in November of 2014 (on Yelp)As a parent of a college student (as well as a middle schooler), I have had the opportunity to evaluate first-hand many programs for children in our community. All I can say is the my mind has been blown here. My son was hesitant to perform in a group nevermind before an audience when he joined “Rolling Stones” in September. Thanks to instantly making friends with a bunch of wonderful kids his age and being welcomed by the director Bob, not only does he now look forward to Thursday afternoons—he also performed at the Bitter End last Saturday in front of maybe 150 people. His private drum teacher has told me he is about a year ahead of what she had projected for this Fall. All I care about is his sense of confidence, pleasure in drumming and in his new friendships with other musicians his age. I am so glad to be a part of School of Rock and expect we will for a long time. Nina Freund (mother and and child psychiatrist).Here is what I have to say now:I recently re-read my review from last year and I would say that my raves then are even more warranted now. School of Rock has changed my sons life for the better. He has entered the cycle in which learning is fun so you practice and as you practice you get better and as you get better you get recognition (from teachers/director/peers) and as you get recognition . . you enjoy what you are doing more! So--his drumming has improved tremendously as has his confidence and his identity as a musician. In the meantime--he is having a blast. Last night when I went to pick him up after rehearsal he and the gang were all grins-clowning around while waiting to rehearse. They have a tight bond and support each other. I can only speak of our director (Bob)-he is the Mary Poppins of rock education. The kids are great, the directors are great, the shows are great. I am so happy to have this program in our lives.

Loved it really fun time here

Love love love School of Rock!

I love this school of rock!

Incredible, the level of production of Broadway musicals has nothing to do with the best musicals in Spain. If you are looking for a musical on Broadway, this to go with children is great and also for adults. It is worth paying what is worth because it is a unique experience that you will not live in any musical in Spain. Decorated mobiles and a scenography in continuous movement and some children that is surprising to see how they are so talented being so young.

An impressive musical, fantastic, fresh, with incredible sets, all the live music, and prodigious children singing, playing and acting. Chicken hen, a must in NY!

I love it series
