School of Rock, Blauvelt

In 1998, School of Rock's first location was built in Philadelphia to strengthen students' self-confidence, develop their musicianship, and most importantly, spark an insatiable enthusiasm to learn. Today, the School of Rock franchise has branched out to more than 65 locations throughout the United States and Mexico. During the school's music lessons, encouraging instructors well versed in methods of rocking and rolling—such as strumming guitars, tickling keyboards, and causing avalanches with yodels—demystify music theory for mini Mick Jaggers of all skill levels.

Established on July 13, 2013, the Orangeburg location boasts two rehearsal rooms, two drum rooms, and four lesson rooms. Between classes, students gather in the lounge to collaborate, jam, and create. During their tenure, students not only learn music but also learn how to promote and perform their sounds by the end of each course. The facility's 1 teacher to 5 student ratio ensures that students get plenty of individual attention to elevate their budding craft to the next level.
