I honestly can’t remember in recent memory coming across a company that is so well run, and by the nicest, most understanding people you could possibly meet. Before I even get into the quality of the lessons, let me tell you about their business end. As a parent, my life is chaos. Every time I’ve had scheduling and general life conflicts with getting my son to Waldwick SoR, I fully expected some annoying pushback as I’ve experienced with other music schools. However, every single time their response was “no problem!” And it’s not just the people there that make them life-friendly, it’s the actual company policies that make doing business with them so easy.Regarding their lessons: every single teacher my son has had lessons with there were exceptional MUSICIANS. You might not think this due to the name “School of Rock.” I spent most of my life as a “Hack” rock musician, and can tell you these folks aren’t hacks: they’re highly trained and extremely talented. But being proficient at something does not automatically qualify one as a TEACHER. That requires patience and nurturing. Every one of my son’s instructors had all three qualities.Finally – SoR has proprietary prescribed plans, with a well thought out program in lesson books enhanced by on-line exercises to help a young musician really grow. I also get an email within an hour of the lesson telling me what was worked on and feedback on the lesson.I chose Waldwick SoR over a number of local music schools just based on what I read on-line, and couldn’t be happier that I did. This is not as much of a business for this crew – it’s a passion and a calling.

My son has been in the Waldwick SOR program since he’s 8 and is 13 now. He has struggled finding a place to fit in. At Waldwick SOR he found his place and his people! In addition he has gotten a superb musical education. His instructors are bar none the best! We love the school and our school of rock family!

Although it was wonderful to see our daughter perform, I wish we could have heard her more. Perhaps some fiddling with the mic so her volume was higher since the other singer was so loud. The venue choice was so convenient & liked that we didn’t have to buy tickets.

SOR Waldwick has been an awesome experience for our son! The combination of weekly lessons and band has been so valuable in his progress. We were blown away by the recent show and we know so much work and planning goes into the performances from the kids & the SOR team as a whole and we so appreciate that! Rich & Eric have been wonderful to work with and we are grateful our son gets to learn from them!

I can not praise the Waldwick School of Rock enough! On one end the level of expertise & professionalism is unbelievable, and that somehow that comes along with so much fun & the sense that you belong to a family is truly extraordinary. The management, the teachers, the administrators are all just wonderful, talented, caring people. I've taken voice lessons where one teacher is just as amazing as the other, but in different ways, all with the drive to guide me to be the best that I can be & to step out of my comfort zone. I've joined the Adult Jam Band as a complete novice, yet I was still welcomed with open arms & made to feel at home. The Waldwich SOR is just a gem for anyone who would like to take their passion for music further, while being in the best company!

Do NOT send your children here. They have lack of respect and knowledge with children with special needs! They were absolutely horrible and rude to my son, not just once but a few times. They need to learn how to handle and treat kids who have disabilities. Run away as fast as you can! Do not waste your time and your money. The owners need a wake up call!

It gave our daughter the confidence that she needs not just when rockin out, but in life. She got involved in theater and chamber choir and her performances had been taken to a whole new level.As an added bonus, the folks at Waldwick School of Rock are some of the nicest people we know. Susan and Kurt are awesome and Rich and Sidney are great!Our daughter loves this SoR and as parents, we couldn’t be any happier.

It’s a great place for kids to jump right into the fun stuff, playing both solo and in a band. As an adult, I returned as a drummer to have some fun, and now I’m playing bass and drums.

We love the School of Rock! My three-year-old has been going there since the summer for a one-on-one version of their Little Wing program, given that she’s too young to attend the official class. Her teacher Sydnie gently guides her through lessons about notes, instruments, songs, and singing, all while genuinely caring to get to know her and catering to her interests. This lesson is a highlight of my daughter’s week, and it is such a pleasure to witness. So happy to be a part of this fun, warm, inspiring community and couldn’t recommend it more highly!
