  • More than a music school. A global community. Today, School of Rock officially celebrates the opening of our 450th location worldwide with the launch of School of Rock Candidplatz in Munich — our very first school in Germany. 🇩🇪 While this milestone reflects incredible global growth, what matters most to us is the impact behind every single school. Every day at School of Rock, students around the world discover confidence they never knew they had, form lifelong friendships in rehearsal rooms, and find a sense of belonging through music. Behind those moments are passionate instructors, staff members, franchisees, and families who work tirelessly to create supportive communities where young musicians can grow both on and off the stage. This milestone belongs to every parent cheering from the crowd at performances, every instructor inspiring the next generation of artists, every franchisee building community through music, and every team member around the world who believes deeply in our mission to enrich lives through music. This year, School of Rock was honored to be named the 2026 Global Franchise Grand Champion, and moments like this are a reminder that our success has always been driven by the people behind the brand: our students, families, franchisees, instructors, and staff worldwide. Thank you for helping us build something so much bigger than music. ❤️ 450 schools strong...and we’re just getting started. https://lnkd.in/eBEJRVRz #globalcommunity #musiceducation #globalgrowth #livemusic #Germany #SchoolofRock

  • May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year we’re focusing on the simple but powerful goal: more good days, together. 🎸✨ Mental wellness isn’t just about the big milestones; it’s about the small moments of connection that keep us grounded. For many families, music is the bridge that makes those moments possible. Whether it’s mastering a difficult riff or finally nailing a vocal harmony, the confidence built on stage translates to a healthier, happier life off stage. We are so proud to see the impact our community has on family dynamics. 87.1% of parents said that they have more meaningful conversations, more opportunities for quality time, and bonding or a better connection with their child thanks to School of Rock.* When we support each other through the power of music, we create a rhythm for better mental health. Let’s keep making noise and making memories. 🤘❤️ #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #moregooddaystogether #schoolofrock #mentalhealthmatters *Independent survey administered from 4/26-5/7/2025. Data is self-reported experience of 1,443 parents of School of Rock students under age 18. Informational purposes only. Learn more at https://rocki.ng/4uctHzQ.

  • School of Rock brought the energy at the 2026 American Cancer Society Relay For Life! ⚡️💜🎗️ From celebrating survivors to remembering loved ones, it was an incredible day of community and music, and School of Rock Johns Creek and School of Rock Buckhead raised over $2,700 for the American Cancer Society together. The School of Rock tent was the place to be, with House Band members from School of Rock Johns Creek and School of Rock Buckhead helping relayers make egg shakers, sold homemade cookies, and spun a custom "Dedication Playlist." The night ended on a high note with an epic joint performance from both bands! 🤘 The relay might be over, but the fundraising continues! If you’d like to support the cause, you can still donate to their team right here: https://rocki.ng/4w9PREl #schoolofrock #relayforlife #livemusic #community

  • Is it jazz? Is it rock? In 2026, the answer is usually "yes." 🎸🎷 This International Jazz Day, we're celebrating the diversity jazz has brought to the genre we know and love - rock. Diverting from a shared background of the blues, the line between these two worlds has become beautifully blurred. Rock gave jazz its volume and raw power, while jazz gave rock the complex time signatures and improvisational soul that pushed the genre toward its most creative limits. Whether it’s the mind-bending time signatures of 1970s prog-rock or the hyper-speed technicality of modern jazz-fusion artists, this cross-pollination is exactly what keeps modern music feeling fresh and unpredictable. Celebrate the music that refuses to stay in one lane. Read more here: https://rocki.ng/4ugMgCm

  • Orange County, you really brought the heat! 🍊🔥 What started as a "what if" over coffee among the owners of School of Rock Huntington Beach, School of Rock Santa Ana, School of Rock Rancho Santa Margarita, and School of Rock Tustin turned into an absolutely electric day of music, community, and pure talent at the Old World Biergarten. The mission was to capture that festival magic right here in their own backyard, and thanks to incredible students, staff, and families, the first-ever Orange County School of Rock Bash did exactly that. The energy was truly unmatched. With two stages running non-stop, the music never hit a dull note. As soon as a House Band finished a killer set on the main stage, the Staff Band was already plugging in and rocking out on the side stage. It created a genuine festival atmosphere, from walking back and forth between stages, grabbing a bite, and cheering on friends from every school across the OC network. Staff saw students from different schools high-fiving in the crowd, parents mingling over lunch, and a community that stayed loud and proud from the first chord to the very last encore. Thanks to the amazing partnership with the venue, the schools were able to keep the event accessible for everyone, ensuring the focus stayed exactly where it belonged: on the music and the memories. To the kids who shredded, the parents who danced, and the staff who poured their hearts into the sets, it felt like a community, so much more than just a show.
