Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the staff,
including business owner Adam Lavinsky, a 28-year-old Berklee College of Music

School of Rock is an ingenious concept that gets kids and
adults rocking out to the classics and on stage performing with their peers.
Music programs are designed to create a supportive environment where music
students of all skill levels are comfortable yet challenged at every turn. In
addition to individual private music instruction on guitar, bass, vocals,
keyboards and drums, students also learn how to jam with their peers in a
weekly rehearsal session. The team dynamic creates a supportive and motivating environment where kids feel inspired to excel.

School of Rock programs are performance-based and emphasize
the message that music is not just about playing an instrument; it’s about
teamwork, building confidence, and creating leaders. The unique programs
include “Rock 101”, which teaches basic skills to beginners, the “Performance
Program,” the second stage and heart and soul of School of Rock, and an “Adult
Program.” The school also offers an enriching program designed for first and
second grade rockers called the “Rookies” program, and a pre-school program
called “Little Wing,” designed to introduce toddlers to the joy of music. After
about twelve weeks of one-on-one lessons and structured group rehearsals, the
students of “Performance Program” transform into rock stars in a blowout
concert in front of a real live audience.
