Bach to Rock Named One of Inc. Magazine’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for Third Consecutive Year
America’s Music School Ranked No. 4195 on the 2013 Inc. 500|5000
Bach to Rock (B2R), America’s music school for students of all ages, announced today it has been named, for the third consecutive time, to Inc. magazine’s seventh annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy — America’s independent entrepreneurs.
“Over the past three years, Bach to Rock has experienced incredible growth. The brand has grown from six corporate schools in the Washington, D.C., area to eight schools, including two franchised-owned locations in the New York City and Philadelphia markets. Additionally, we have four franchise locations in Sacramento, Calif., Long Island, N.Y., and Northern Virginia targeted to open in early 2014,” said Brian Gross, president of Bach to Rock. “With music and arts programs continuing to be cut due to diminishing school budgets, Bach to Rock helps meet the increased need for high-quality music education. There is high demand for what Bach to Rock offers.”
The Bethesda, Md.-based company reported a three-year revenue growth of 61 percent from 2009-2012 and added 41 new jobs. Bach to Rock was also ranked No. 66 of the Top 100 Education Companies listed on the 2013 Inc. 5000. For more information about Bach to Rock’s ranking, visit http://www.inc.com/profile/bach-to-rock.

Bach to Rock is currently seeking qualified candidates to open franchise locations in major metropolitan markets throughout the country. Bach to Rock is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to build a business that is dedicated to helping children and adults learn to play the music they love. While music experience or ability is not necessary, candidates should bring strong business acumen and the ability to build teams to ensure the school’s success.
