Our Adult Rock Band "The Trash Pandas" Rocked the Stage at Epicure Cafe!

Our second season of awesome adult rockers took the stage for their first ever show at Epicure Cafe! They performed songs from our "Alt 90's" playlist, which included The Gin Blossoms, Green Day, Third Eye Blind, Spacehog and more! They pulled together an incredible concert in just 5 short weeks! And they are already hungry for more!

So next up is our Summer Grad School Adult Session - Reggae Rock! Rehearsals will begin Saturday, May 4th and then make their stage debut the weekend of June 22nd. (Showtimes/Venue TBD).

National Cherry Blossom Festival & Rock N' Roll Marathon

It was a beautiful March afternoon in DC on the picturesque Tidal Basin. The Blossoms were in bloom and the Band played their melodic tunes! The School of Rock Vienna House Band had the honor of performing last month at the National Cherry Blossom Festival on the Tidal Basin Welcome Area / ANA Performance Stage to a big crowd festival attendees. We had a great time participating in this year's festivities alongside several other incredible Musical and Dance Groups! And earlier in the month our area House Bands took the stage for 6 hours to cheer the DC Rock N Roll Marathoners on their journey. It was cold but FUN!

Do You Have a Child Who Wants to Major in Music?

If you have a child who is thinking of majoring in the arts, you may have a lot of questions and possibly some concerns.

ARTriculate offers college consulting for creative students in the arts and can help students and their parents think about options, school and can help you work through the process.

School of Rock at the Wammies?

We are very proud that one of our extraordinary Guitar Instructors, Bobby Thompson, was nominated as a 2019 Wammie Award Finalists in two categories - Best Blues Album and Best Blues Artist/Group. The Wammie Awards is a 31-year-old award show aimed at recognizing DC area artists and musicians for their artistic works. Way to go Bobby!

Vienna Idol 2019

Vienna Idol 2019 Auditions begin April 3rd and spots are filling up fast! This competition is open to student performers, as well as adults.

Vienna Idol is a music competition to showcase local talent and raise money for the Khristin Kyllo Memorial Fund. Khristin, a local Vienna resident, died suddenly due to SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death from Epilepsy) in her first year at Princeton. Her parents, Tom and Julie Kyllo, created the foundation in her memory. Now in its’ 8th year, VIENNA IDOL has raised over $80,000 for the KHRISTIN KYLLO MEMORIAL FUND, sending several young people to college, purchasing Epilepsy Seizure Bracelets and Monitoring for those who can’t afford them, and donating funds for SUDEP research.
