We love School of Rock! Excellent instructors, and we love the private lessons and band/performance programs! There is nothing else like SOR in Fayetteville, and I’m so glad that we found it!

Great experience and instruction for budding musicians with actual stage experience and working with a band. My son loves it!

Top notch! It has greatly elevated my kids musical knowledge and given them the stage experience that is hard to find.

I’ve left a review in the past and it was great, but my review comes now with even greater thought and more experience. My number one favorite thing by far is the staff. I love Kelsey and Kevin (they are just the best and could NOT be better in any way I can think of) and will really miss Dean…he is an absolutely wonderful teacher and such a loss for SOR and the students. All the staff members I’ve had contact with in classes and makeups have been thoughtful, courteous, professional yet friendly and have brought me so much more knowledge than I had walking in with a professional background in opera and musical theater. The staff has been the most important thing about SOR for me. I don’t know that I would attend without them. I hope they all stay (at least as long as I and my family are there!). I’m so glad my husband and I have returned for a 2nd performance band season, that my son is now in his 3rd, and that they have been so patient, inspiring, and warm with my adult daughter with autism. Thank you SOR staff! I hope you are valued as much as I think you should be! You can also find my review on Yelp.

Logan Henbest, member of School of Rock community since 2013.If you had asked me four months ago if I would recommend School of Rock my answer would’ve been a resounding “Absolutely!”. Fast forward to today and I cannot stress how much I urge everyone to stay away from this place.What was once a thriving lively community centered around music and talent has become nothing but a soulless cash grab. The new owner has no passion for music whatsoever. This is simply a business to her and nothing else. At the old Bentonville school, music and the student’s potential were prioritized above all else. And it was because of this that dozens of students thrived and have gone on to become great musicians and even better people. There are some exceptional instructors here who dedicate themselves, despite a harsh uncoordinated work environment, to helping students reach their full potential. They are not the problem. The problem is the owner, Bea. She forced the former GM of the Bentonville school out of his career, lacks meaningful communication with her staff and students, runs a school for music yet doesn’t play an instrument herself, and has single handedly ruined School of Rock for the sake of money. She alone is the reason why I am choosing to leave and quite possibly never coming back. It pains me to see this place fall apart like this in just a few short months. If I were you, go to a private instructor or better yet, teach yourself.

School of Rock has been the best thing my daughter and I decided to do in 2020! It's been like joining a really fun musical family. My daughter has already picked up a second instrument, and I'm thrilled with the support and encouragement she gets from the School of Rock staff. So grateful!

I really like the knowledgeable and friendly staff! As a complete beginner, I appreciate their support. It's a good time every week! The owner Bea really cares about the students, and has been a vocalist as well so she understands how the students feel. It is a business, but it feels like a friend's house. I would recommend it to anyone, adult or child, with an interest in music.

If you have a child who is not already 100% committed and certain he/she wants to play music- do not go to School of Rock. I'm disappointed in the way School of Rock operates their business. My young son started in Rookies. We paid the enrollment fee, and prorated month. Today, first of Sept, I tell them my son cannot attend any Rookie classes because he has after school and will be too tired. They still charged me for a full month, saying I didn't give them 30 days notice. My son hadn't even been enrolled for 30 days...there was no more advance notice I could give. What's more, I gave them several alternatives, given that they insist on charging us for the month even though we can't use it. I suggested they give us credit for the summer so my son can take a month of Rookies then; I also suggested I take lessons and even make up the difference in pay. They said no to these suggestions. Unless they refund me the money or agree to some alternative, I cannot recommend this business.

The staff is knowledgeable in teaching musical techniques while also creating and fostering a positive experience both individually and as a group. They care about the well-being of each student as well as each student's personal skill progression.

My son has gained so many skills from School of Rock and the instructors. His confidence has greatly improved over the past few years from doing performances and several of his school teachers have commented how much more engaged he is with school. In addition, he has so much fun learning to play guitar and drums!

We love School of Rock. You learn the music theory in a private lesson and rock out with a band each week.
