What Students Say...
She got to actually work with a group in a band. [This] taught her a lot about give-and-take and supporting other people. She gets a lot out of Kidzrock from a social aspect.
- Marie Boesch, parent
He started playing music right away... and reading music from a very young age. If your child has any interest in music, this is a great way to cultivate that love of music.
- Julie Sandler, parent
He was playing that little guitar after just one class. Watching him on stage performing with his band was amazing. One of the best decisions we ever made!
