School of Rock Medford

About

School of Rock Medford is a music school where lessons lead to live performance. Students learn guitar, bass, drums, piano or singing in private one-on-one sessions and then rehearse as a band with peers, working up iconic rock songs. The method is designed to build musical proficiency along with self-confidence, teamwork and resilience, and the school describes itself as offering more than just music lessons.

The Medford school follows a set progression. The youngest students begin in Rookies and move up when they are ready. Rock 101, aimed at players typically 8 to 13, pairs one weekly group rehearsal of simplified classic rock songs with one weekly private lesson. Once students have basic competence, they move into the Performance Program, where they rehearse weekly with a band of their peers and work up their parts in private lessons.
