My kids have been at SOR Naperville for several years now.Both have different personalities (extravert vs introvert) and the SOR Naperville team and instructors are absolutely AMAZING with both of them.Instructors are experienced in different learning styles and truly get to know all of the students personally and are invested in their growth and development.They know how to engage and challenge the students in a fun way.My daughter would be there every day if she could and my son (the more introverted one) started off slowly but now cannot wait to try new things (the camps are GREAT for this) and comes out of every single lesson (group and private) stating that it was "EPIC"The other kids are helpful and encouraging - they never hesitate to cheer each other or comfort each other when someone may not be feeling 100% about their performance.I know this is long, but I have to also share this as I feel it is important. SOR Naperville is a positive place for our kids. From the manager, office staff, incredibly dedicated and talented instructors to the other families and fellow students. They make everyone feel welcome and safe to be themselves. Not every kid is a sports kid and at regular school, the arts are not always as embraced. Here, they want to see the kid’s creativity, hear their ideas, collaborate and embrace each other’s unique style.I would recommend SOR Naperville without hesitation to any family considering enrolling and am grateful my kids are part of this community.

Every Tuesday our child is so excited to go to his class, and when he leaves class he is always very excited to tell us about what they did.The School of Rock programs do a wonderful job of teaching kids how to play music while also teaching them about being part of a team. The benefits of teaching music in a group/band setting go far beyond just learning music. It provides kids with a community of other like minded individuals to learn and be creative with, increasing the engagement and building relationships among peers. The teamwork and group work skills learned in these programs will prove to be incredibly beneficial to the students for the rest of their lives, whether it is in the music or business world.

School of Rock (Naperville) has been nothing short of an awesome experience. They create an inclusive, collaborative, and music-loving environment in every way. Would highly highly recommend.

Never in my life have I experienced a private music school with teachers as exceptionally talented, knowledgeable & personable as SoR Naperville. It's a classy, extremely high caliber music school disguised in a humble, charming building and taught by humble charming people. Additionally, randomly, their bass teachers are also really, really, ridiculously cool. And smart. And funny?! And for some reason their rooms always smell the best?! Anyway, just my observation as someone who walked by it on the sidewalk once and definitely not the bass teacher with the essential oil diffuser (it's cedarwood oil). On a more serious (quarter) note: enrolling your kids here opens them to an extremely supportive, positive, driven community while at the same time exposes them to the highest caliber private & small group music instruction in Naperville.

My son is in Rookies, he likes the instructor and love the fact that he get to try various instruments during each session to explore and get to know his interest over a period of time …thoroughly enjoying the true experience of learning music while having fun, school staff are welcoming , friendly with the kids and accommodative for various last minute requests.

Staff are friendly and are good with kids. Our boys are proud of what they have learned and can do. We have been coming here for years. Have never been disappointed. 5-stars for Naperville School of Rock.

words legitimately cant express how much this place has improved my self-esteem as a drummer. this place never treats you like a child (unless you literally are one); they treat you like any other professional drummer. even with constructive criticism, it doesnt feel dumbed down or demeaning. i feel treated with actual respect and thats something ive always strived for in anyone teaching me. honestly these dudes arent even teachers; they’re friends, and treat you as if youre one.11/10

Have had rather negative experiences here with the instructors and overall learning environment. Will need to look elsewhere.

My son takes lessons from Lucas and absolutely loves it! He has learned so much and going to SoR is one of his favorite activities. He's continues to accel and has gotten so much from the program. The camps are great too!

What is NOT to like??? The staff (first and foremost #1), the content and learning path, private lessons, group collaboration and learning how each cast member has their role/part to play. Main goal of learning not only an instrument, but team work and with a bit of flare/performance where each cast member can allow it.Highly recommend SoR to beginner and experienced musicians of all ages! (Yes! There is a program at some locations for adults too!) :-)

Lucas works very well with my son he has tailored experience along with his preferences. We have worked remotely and they have both made it work well! It is a good learning experience!

My daughter loved it there and can see her talk about Music already. My passion to learn music, wasn't a reach then, trying for my baby and she is loving it. The teachers and school are more responsible for her interest. Much Appreciated.
