i've wanted to play drums since I'm 6 yrs old. I'm 49. I've never played drums (except air drums haha) because the 'rents wouldn't let me. I played guitar for a few years but have no natural talent so I always stunk and had to practice weeks to learn a song and it still sounded crappy. Drums are more of a timing thing and I'm very left brained so I always thought I could learn drums easily. maybe one day I'll be able to afford to go here. :)
one of my first thoughts is 'well, if they cannot even bother to respond to or answer peoples questions on their own promo channel for their school...'?
I looked into this program, and it sounded like just what I wanted, but it sure was pricey. Way more expensive than the piano lessons I took in the recent past. I couldn't justify the expense for just a hobby.
@@MsStarbuck11 pretty expensive. For my area, it’s 250 a month.. it’s crazy but I really want to join. Even worse, I wanted to learn both vocals and guitar and it’s $190 extra to learn a second instrument.
I did it a couple years back. Yes, it's pricey. I think the SOR is a great venue for kids - structured, inclusive and planned music is scripted down to the levels where everyone can succeed. Some students were more motivated than others. Your raw talent going in normally dictates how many song you get to play. I loved the experience and comradery.
I will love enjoying the teaming together with fellow student's and perhaps take on the other school of Rock group's and win the right to play we are the champion's by queen and the we will rock you song the fayetteville arkansas branch method and plenty of practise.
JonnyOpinionated the entire concept of the program. For adults whom have families, full-time jobs and responsibilities, it would be almost impossible to locate like-minded musicians, schedule rehearsals, book gigs etc.; so a program like this makes perfect sense. For children, they're losing out on 90% of the experience and hardship of getting your band up and running. They will never fully appreciate the challenges of starting a band. The "gigs" they play are comparable to gigs it takes a true band years to get. They play to 100 people when they should be playing to an empty room with only their girlfriends in attendance. They have lights, a sound man and roadies. It's basically playing dress-up and I'm morally opposed to kids entering this program.
@@betweenthewars4054 This is one of the dumbest comments I have ever read. "Experience the hardship of getting your band up and running"?? There is absolutely NOTHING to learn about having a hard time putting a band together. There is no life lesson, nothing to learn of any value, no sense of accomplishment because you were lucky enough to find like-minded musicians, nothing positive at all about struggling to find people to share your art and passion with. School of Rock puts like minds together to share their art and passion, all the while learning to better themselves musically. Yes it's expensive but other than that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with matching musicians with other musicians.
@@JonnyOpinionated Whatever you do, do not listen to that guy at all. School of Rock is expensive but it's a good way to learn your instrument and a great opportunity to meet other people with the same goal as yours.
Casey Cox I don't even know how to respond to this. So, hard work and sacrifice doesn't breed self-satisfaction and greater appreciation for the attainment of a goal? It certainly seems you've lead an easy, privileged life- and that's ok, but please understand that you may have missed out on some of life's great lessons. What a shame.

You're missing out...
How pricey? I'm looking at a trial next week.
@@MsStarbuck11 Between $275-$450 a month...depending on area

I'm 24 am I able to join in this because I've always wanted to play the drums I'm self taught but i would love to learn more in depth how to play?
The good things about the adult program are the bad things about the youth programs.
Please elaborate... There's a school in my town and I am interested in the adult program.
