School of Rock

School of Rock is the world's leading performance-based music education franchise, founded in 1998 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With more than 440 locations across 18 countries and over 65,000 students, the company has spent more than 25 years transforming the way people learn music. Unlike traditional lesson-based music instruction, School of Rock uses a proprietary METHOD™ curriculum — a patented performance-based system — that teaches students technique and theory through band rehearsals and live shows. Students of all ages and skill levels learn guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals, and culminate their training by performing on stage. The franchise model allows local owners to build community-centered businesses while delivering a globally consistent curriculum. School of Rock is headquartered in Canton, Massachusetts, and is owned by parent company YEB.
