After months of practice and hard work, the adult band from our newest school in Ankeny put on a stellar season show featuring One Hit Wonders.

Years ago, Claire received a Christmas gift from her mom that inspired a new hobby - music. Years later, she is still interested, and now a member of the Cedar Rapids/Marion adult band.

Making music lessons engaging is Madison's goal as an instructor. She teaches multiple instruments and groups at the West Des Moines school.

Watch the stage for Adie Fiedler! The keys player is a graduate of the Ankeny school’s Rookies program on her way to Rock 101. She’s already rocking it and loving every class.

Despite freezing temperatures and being in the middle of winter, our rock stars from all schools put on stellar shows for their friends, family, and the community.

A music composer tried teaching and loved it since the first lesson. The guitar, keys, and bass instructor had an interesting story of how he joined the School of Rock. Read on to find out!

Music is one of those hobbies that has no age limit. Creating something that sounds good can happen at age one or 100. For the Doak family, every rehearsal and show feels extra special because the band is made up of three generations.

The guitar player doesn't even remember when he started to play music. All he knows is he loves creating music and joining School of Rock was a way for him to explore that passion.

The self-taught musician became a teacher because other people noticed his skills were fluid and he was also personable working with others. Since starting his teaching career, Tanner says he has “enjoyed every minute of it”.

After months of hard work, the adult group put together a stellar six-song set list and rocked on to set the scene before the West Des Moines adult band continued the jams.
