Bach to Rock, America’s music school for students of all ages, proudly announces it is opening a new school in Severna Park, Maryland. The community is invited to the free event on November 17, 2024, from Noon – 4:00 p.m. at 454-C Ritchie Highway, Severna Park, MD, 21146, in the Robinson Crossing Shopping Center. Attendees can participate in tours and information sessions, check out the recording studio, enjoy performances, and try out free mini lessons. Plus, guests can enter to win a free instrument. The school will serve students from (but not limited to) Severna Park, Annapolis, Arnold, Glen Burnie, Millersville, Gambrills, Edgewater, Cape St. Claire, Crofton, and Odenton. Bach to Rock Severna Park is the first location in the Baltimore metropolitan area and is operated by new franchise owners, Janice and John Hariadi.
“We couldn’t be more excited to open our newest school in Severna Park. The area is perfectly situated between Annapolis and Baltimore, and it is very family-oriented with a small-town feel. We bring the right vibe, energy and most importantly, our unique music curriculum, which is sure to enrich the music and arts programs available to students there,” said Brian Gross, President of Bach to Rock. “Janice and John live in the area and are eager to bring something new to the community. Janice is passionate about music, is a working musician who plays the electric guitar and sings in a band, so she has valuable know-how to share with her students. Her expertise as a successful real estate manager, combined with her hands-on experience in music, make her an ideal leader for Bach to Rock Severna Park.”
Meet the Franchisees: Janice and John Hariadi
Partners in business and in life, John and Janice Hariadi are the husband-and-wife team at the helm of Bach to Rock Severna Park. Janice is the onsite director and manager of daily operations, while John is active behind the scenes. “I have been chasing the dream of opening my own music school and helping young musicians for many years. Throughout my career in real estate and working as a part-time musician, this goal has always been a source of motivation,” said Janice Hariadi. John Hariadi, a retired veteran, recognizes Bach to Rock as an opportunity to help veterans and active-duty service members, and their families, pursue an interest in music.
“Bach to Rock is the perfect fit for both of us. We aim to unite our skills and talents to create an inclusive space that encourages creativity and collaboration among music students of all ages and backgrounds,” continued Janice.
