News That Rocks

Winter Blues?  Oh heck no!

We've been having a blast heating up our tunes for the upcoming shows, Jantacular was *jantastic*, more Rock 101 and Rookies In Person classes are coming and we are just generally PUMPED for 2021!  Read all about it!

Fall Season Performances Venue is Booked!

We're in the final stages of setting dates and times for our fall show season livestreams and are thrilled to say we'll be playing at The Renegade in Arlington on the weekends of Feb 20/21st and 27/28th.  We will be emailing specifics this week so stay tuned!

Rookies and Rock 101... Rockin' In The New Year 

Our Rookies and Rock 101 classes filled up this Fall so we are adding more sessions!
We will be hosting Open Houses in the New Year for you to bring your kiddos to the school and check it out first hand!
For safety, we are still keeping these groups much smaller than before to ensure we can be socially distant while playing and there are a host of other safety protocols in place too.  For more information or to sign up, email Brian on vienna@schoolofrock.com to get on the list.  

Happy 5 Year Anniversary Dante!

Time flies when you're having so much fun and we can't believe Dante has been leading the music charge here for 5 years!  (That's actually 25 years in School of Rock years!) Happy Rock School Anniversary and here's to many more!

School of Rock Awarded a U.S. Patent for our Revolutionary Method

We've known all along that we are the most revolutionary music program in the world and now we have a patent!  Pretty cool!  You can read the press release here.  

Safety Is Our Top Priority

Creating a COVID-19 safe environment has been and remains our #1 priority for students and staff when they are in the building.  We know that many of our students just want to come in person and we are doing all the safety protocols to ensure we are providing a safe environment to rock.
  • We require masks while in the building. All persons entering the school are given a symptom and temperature check
  • All persons entering the school immediately wash their hands and hand sanitizer is used frequently
  • We keep the number of people in our building at any given time to levels lower than required. We maintain social distancing at all times
  • We have barriers between vocalists and the band in our groups and a barrier is in all lessons
  • We disinfect all high touch surfaces with hospital grade disinfectant using a special misting tool that gets in every crevice, nook and cranny, and disinfect cases that our brought in by students when they arrive.
In other words, we're serious about safety!  If you think your child might do better in person, give us a call and let's give it a try.  You may also schedule a time to come see it all in person to gauge your comfort level.

Inclement Weather Procedures

Let it snow!  If you take your lesson in person or have a group that rehearses in person, please take note of how we will handle things.
On the day in question, we will determine if our staff can come in and return home safely, particularly for groups.  Often the timing of the storm allows us to continue our in person operations.  If you feel the roads are not safe and we are open, you may opt to take your in person lesson online for that day, just let us know.  We will post up in our group FB groups and send an email if there is a change to the in person groups on that day.  If you have a question shoot us an email, check social media, or give us a call before you head out.
