Just look at these before and after photos!

Cecilia Yi and Jason Kline, the owners of 5 School of Rock locations in Northern California, are not afraid to take on large construction projects in order to create unique spaces for their schools. The couple's creativity was evident in the very first School of Rock location they opened, which is situated inside the historic Independent Order of Odd Fellows building in the heart of Elk Grove.

Cecilia and Jason are well-known in the School of Rock community for their design flair. Not only do they fully renovate a space to give it the full School of Rock effect, but they have built walls out of retired speakers, adorned hallways with custom School of Rock drumsticks, and hand-cut the iconic School of Rock branded guitar swirl for the exterior of their schools.

School of Rock Perrysburg is turning heads and turning up the volume as they hit the 7-month mark! 🎉

Meet the mastermind behind it all: Ronald Rothenbuhler. Like many of our franchise owners, Ron's professional background lies outside of music - he graduated from college with a psychology degree and then began selling cable services door-to-door. He went on to have a successful career in the field with Adelphia, Comcast, and AT&T.

His journey at School of Rock began when his daughter became interested in the drums and he enrolled her at School of Rock Ann Arbor. He was inspired by the school's vibrant culture and the life-changing impact of its programs, leading him to open his own School of Rock in Perrysburg. Now, the school is celebrating it's 7-month anniversary and thriving. Take a look!

In just 3 weeks since opening their doors, School of Rock Beavercreek is already making waves with 50 students enrolled! We are blown away by the incredible response from our community.

Meet the power couple behind it all: Amanda and Nathan Warden. Amanda has been homeschooling their four kids their entire lives and has stepped into the role of General Manager at the Beavercreek location. Nathan, a technical sales engineer at a local company serving the aerospace and defense industries has been playing in bands since he was 12 years old. Their backgrounds and shared love for music make them the perfect owners for our newest school in Ohio.

"School of Rock is the merger of worlds I’m in and love, music and education for kids," says Amanda. "It was kind of the sweet spot. We knew we wanted to build something, not just for us but that our own kids and the community could all enjoy. The kids are so excited about this. Homeschooling is its special little world. This is exciting because we're going to get to be with the broader community more regularly. We're really excited about that.”

Take a look at this vibrant new school.

Last week, we hosted School of Rock Overdrive at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel, where nearly 600 franchise owners, operators, corporate staff members, and partners came together to connect, share stories, and learn from each other in the heart of Music City.

This gathering was a perfect reminder of the fact that at School of Rock, we don't just teach music, we save lives - a sentiment that was woven through every session, panel, and conversation that took place throughout the event.

School of Rock community members from countries around the world participated in a wide range of learning and training sessions that covered essential topics related to our mission of enriching lives through performance-based music education. These sessions included discussions on how to better support neurodiverse students with the guidance of our partners at Autism Today, how to create more open and accepting spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, how to improve support for youth mental wellness with the Society for the Prevention of Teen Su***de, and so much more.

Outside of these learning sessions, 209 staff members took the stage at 3rd & Lindsley to perform 45 songs during our infamous "Jam Night"! It was an electrifying evening filled with music, energy, and pure joy. What made it even more special was that all the songs performed were selected from our curriculum, representing the rich and diverse range of artists and genres we teach at School of Rock.

We closed out an epic few days with an awards ceremony to celebrate not just achievements, but the passion and dedication that fuels our collective success. During this ceremony, it was with great pride and admiration that we presented School of Rock’s 2023 Franchisee of the Year award to the owners of School of Rock McKinney, School of Rock Rockwall and School of Rock NorthDallas - Fran Rapattoni, Kiva Rapattoni, Dalton Rapattoni, Shannon Jabczynski, and Susie McFadden. This remarkable group embodies the core values that serve as the foundation of our mission. Their integrity, optimism, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to both their students and their peers serve as an inspiration to all the owners and operators in our system.

We returned from Nashville with a deep appreciation for our passionate community, and we are thrilled about the future of School of Rock.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of our incredible School of Rock instructors!

At School of Rock, our instructors don't just teach music – they ignite passion, confidence, and creativity in every student they meet. Let's dive into what makes our teachers truly legendary:

Our instructors are the masters of our patented School of Rock Method™. They pair one-on-one lessons with group rehearsals and live performances, showing students how to play together as a band. With their guidance, our students perform on real stages and unleash their inner rockstars.

Our instructors kickstart the musical journey by teaching the songs that light a fire in our students' hearts. Whether it's a classic tune or a modern song, our teachers know how to keep the excitement alive.

Thanks to our teachers, practicing isn't a chore. They harness the power of our Method App to keep students engaged with interactive exercises, real-time feedback, and endless song possibilities. With our teachers leading the way, every practice session becomes a stepping stone to greatness.

Our teachers don't just teach music theory – they make it rock 'n' roll. Through our Method Books, authored by our own passionate team of educators, they break down complex techniques with the help of iconic songs - because learning should be as thrilling as performing.

To all our rockstar teachers: thank you for being the driving force behind our students' musical journeys. You're not just teachers – you're legends. 🤘
