The School of Rock Headliner Award recognizes schools that consistently demonstrate exceptional performance in the delivery of our core mission - enriching lives through performance-based music education. To be eligible, schools must exhibit an exemplary level of achievement in the areas of school safety, utilization of the patented School of Rock Method™, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence over the course of the calendar year. Headliner award recipients represent schools that have not only met, but surpassed all expectations, in all categories.
We specialize in empowering nervous performers! Some of the greatest performers of all time are quite shy, actually. We've seen countless young musicians go from timid wall flowers to confident performers with stage presence that commands attention. Our staff and House Band members pay special attention to shy newcomers and help them out of their shell in no time.
Students 13 and up typically join our Performance Program to play songs and parts assigned to their skill level. Typically our students under the age of 13 who haven't had experience playing in a band yet join Rock 101. Students 6-7 join Rookies & students 4-5 join Little Wing.

Our end of season performance shows vary from year to year but there's typically a weekend of performance shows at the end of Spring, the middle of Fall, and the middle of Winter.
Performing is the most important thing we do because students that perform in shows with a band learn about 4x faster than simply attending 1 on 1 lessons.
No problem! Plenty of our students are also in sports. We have performance rehearsals 6 days a week to accomodate all different schedules.
If sports practice and other schedule commitments still interfere with rehearsal, we have a new performance season every 3-4 months. They can always join next season and still take lessons in the mean time.
