“When I first learned about School of Rock, I was struck by the franchise’s ability to positively change lives and build ongoing confidence in its students,” says Keith Taeuber, owner of School of Rock Claremont and Master Franchisee in the South Africa region. “The school’s performance-based education creates the rock stars of tomorrow while also investing in their personal growth. We met students and parents and heard stories of how literally School of Rock saved their lives.”

A LEADER IN BUSINESS AND MUSIC EDUCATION

If you want to start or buy a music school or franchise, there are many outfits to choose from. But there’s only one School of Rock. With our patented, performance-based learning technique, we stand out in the field of music education. Our music programs combine private music lessons with group performances, getting students ready to take the stage with confidence and skill.

We believe in the importance of including music as part of a child’s upbringing, and studies show that children involved in music education tend to perform better academically, and playing music as part of a live band can have similar benefits as playing team sports.
