School of Rock Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor-high_rezIt has been nearly a year since the grand opening of the School of Rock Ann Arbor and a lot has definitely happened. Our year began with a Chamber ribbon cutting and several students to an ever increasing group of aspiring artists. It has already been a great start and we are confident that even better times are yet to come. Our performance group which consists of students 8 years old to 17 got out and played shows at Mash, Jackson Road Car Cruise, Foggy Bottom, Dexter Daze and Ann Arbors own Derby Dimes, as well as an unforgettable afternoon at the Hard Rock Cafe Detroit among others.  It has been encouraging how our students have been received by the community at all of the venues. We invite you to come see what makes the School of Rock different from many other music schools.
