Inspired Approach

For more than a decade, School of Rock has been inspiring kids to rock on stage and in life. Founded as a single school in Philadelphia, PA in 1998, School of Rock now teaches more than 7,000 students at 70 schools in the US and Mexico, including three locations in the Twin Cities.

 We at the Burnsville School of Rock believe the best way to learn music is to play music. We take students from the lesson room to the stage, developing both their confidence and musicianship with programs designed for all skill levels.School of Rock Burnsville teaches guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards, drums and combines weekly private music lessons and group band rehearsals to prepare students to take the stage in front of live audiences in an authentic concert setting. Open since October 2010, Burnsville School of Rock students have played concerts at Bogarts in Apple Valley and PrimeTime in Burnsville.Burnsville students are eligible to audition for the Road Crew, the Twin Cities' School of Rock Show Band. The Road Crew plays throughout the Twin Cities several times a month, including opening for acts such as Soul Asylum, and America's #1 KISS cover band, Strutter, performing at community events such as Leprachaun Days in Rosemount, Burnsville Music in the Park, Elk River Music in the Park, holiday celebrations parties such a Universal's Family New Years Eve Party at Mall of America and Buck Hill's Halloween Party, Frightmares at Buck Hill and fundraising events such as Walk-a-thon for Suicide Prevention and East Ridge Cheerleader Fund Raiser.Burnsville is proud to be the first School of Rock in the country to offer Early Music Education for 4-7 year olds.
