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.
Each Season is 4-months long. Every season we have 2 concerts for Rock 101, Performance and Adult Band Programs. A mid-season show around the 2-month point, and a season showcase near the end of the 4-months. See our 2025 Seasonal Calendar for potential show dates and the breakdown of each season.
It depends on the instrument! We always recommend to wait a couple of weeks before getting your own to be sure you do not purchase something they decide is not the right fit musically.
In the school, we have drums and keyboards for use so you do not need to bring them. Vocalists should bring their own microphone that has an XLR connection. Guitarists and bassists can start by using a school instrument, but will eventually need one of their own to practice on. We are always happy to help our families find the right instrument for them!
School of Rock sells guitars, bass guitars, drums, keyboards, microphones, recording equipment, amplifiers, effects pedals and much more through our exclusive GearSelect program.
