“School of Rock has been a great community for these kids. It is an alternative to extracurricular activities that a lot of these kids can really fit into where they might feel out of place in other arenas.”
Performance
For kids who know the basics of how to play their instrument and are ready to advance.
In the Performance Program, School of Rock Chicago students learn harmonies, musicianship and how to perform in an authentic rock show environment. Our shows each center on a theme, and the students spend time delving into the catalogs of certain artists, styles and periods of rock music. Past shows have featured very well received student perfomances in: Pink Floyd's The Wall, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen (David Lee Roth era - of course), AC/DC, best of the 80s, Punk Rock, Devo, Frank Zappa, Queen, and many many more fun and exciting programs.
All student musicians enrolled in our Performance Program will receive:
- Weekly private music lessons
- Three-hour band rehearsals to prepare for the rock concert
- Enhanced learning in key areas such as stage performance, harmonies, musicianship and more
- Choices of new show themes every season
