The School of Rock is a great music and social community for kids,
where they can learn music is a safe and fun environment from some of
the best musicians in the area. Children ages 9 and up are invited to register for these unique performance camps.
School of Rock is at it's core a performance-based music program. Kids
immediately walk into this School with something in common; a love of
music and a desire to play with others. Their music staff is background
checked annually and work for themthroughout the year - they don't hire
seasonal employees to staff our camps, so the instructors are people
they are familiar with and trust, so you can feel comfortable leaving
them with them for the day.
Their Easton facility is fully equipped for rockin'. Guitarists and
bassists should bring their instruments, drummers should bring sticks,
but they have pretty much everything else ready! If students want to,
they can sign up for a couple of refresher lessons the week before the
camp, so they are ready to go.
Call now to schedule a tour! You can reach them at (610) 923-7624
