School of Rock is a performance-based music school for kids aged 4-18, located at 2645 Midlefield Rd, Palo Alto. Since 2012, we have been training Palo Alto’s next generation of rock and roll stars.

Our School of Rock Show Team, representing the best of our students, plays throughout the city at numerous street festivals, block parties, and charity events. Our students must audition to be selected for the exclusive Show Team, which performs a mix of great family-friendly rock songs from various eras and styles. Our set list includes songs from Michael Jackson, Joan Jett, the Beatles, The Eagles, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Elle King, Taylor Swift, and many more.

A School of Rock set is a fantastic thing to watch. Our students bring the rock harder than most “pro” bands they share the stage with, and we have become a fixture at many local festivals, and events throughout the year including PV Polooza, Palo Alto Christmas Tree Lighting, and events. After the first performance, we get invited back for next year’s event and future events that need live music.

The School of Rock Show Team students enchant older rock fans with their musical skills and mesmerize younger audiences with their infectious exuberance. Please contact me if you are interested in booking School of Rock or have any questions about the School of Rock program.
