As AC/DC so wisely put it, “rock ‘n’ roll ain’t noise pollution”. Just ask the 60,000-plus young people around the world who have enrolled at School of Rock. From discovering the genre and picking up instruments for the first time, this revolutionary music education programme quickly becomes a passion, a creative expression, and a social lifeline for their students.

Working with School of Rock is just as satisfying – and you don’t have to be Hendrix to get involved. Maybe you’re a parent who is looking for the ultimate music school to boost your own child’s self-confidence. An entrepreneur craving a new challenge. A seasoned professional looking to shake up a stale career. Whichever sounds like you, launching the first School of Rock franchise in the UK could tap into your passion, let you manage your own business and make a positive impact on young lives in your community.

School of Rock is an award-winning phenomenon that has turned music education on its head. In less than 25 years, this revolutionary music school has snowballed from one location in Philadelphia to more than 330 after-school music instruction schools in 15 countries, spanning from Australia to Mexico. Unlike most music tuition, students are quickly thrown into a band scenario where technique and theory improve naturally. Before you know it, they’ll be rocking out to iconic tunes like Thunderstruck or Stairway To Heaven.

Not only transforming the outlooks of the students who enrol, School of Rock is also a proven winner for franchise operators. Now, School of Rock is planting its flag in the UK – and looking for music lovers to help launch the first location in the home of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. 

Could you see yourself as a vital part of a dynamic music hub where every day brings you face-to-face with an inspiring group of young musicians? Trading the tie and boardroom for the rehearsal space and Marshall stack? Swapping the corporate grind to do something that really matters?
