School of Rock Medford
About
School of Rock Medford teaches music by putting students in bands. Students take private lessons on guitar, bass, drums, piano or vocals, then join group rehearsals to play rock songs with peers. Getting students on stage performing is the goal, and the school treats performance-based education as a way to develop both musical proficiency and life skills such as confidence, teamwork and resilience.
Its Rock 101 program is one of the school’s top programs for kids and beginners, using classic rock songs simplified for new musicians alongside a private instructor who teaches the concepts and skills behind them. Younger children start in the Rookies program and can move up when ready. The next step is the Performance Program, the school’s hallmark, where students rehearse with a peer band and take on parts suited to their level.
