Bach to Rock Music School Helps Enrich Children’s Summers with Music

In-Person or Virtual Summer Camps Now Available for Children to Learn a New Instrument, Take Voice Lessons and More

In School & Online Music Lessons & Camps

Bach to Rock (B2R), America’s music school for students of all ages, is now offering both virtual and in-person summer camps at the majority of its forty-three schools across the United States. Parents will have the option to choose their preferred format. Some schools remain closed for in-person camps, however virtual camps are available.  In March, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bach to Rock transitioned all of its schools to remote-only music lessons, but now is able to shift to a combination of online and in-person summer camps as stay-at-home restrictions are lifted by individual states.  Bach to Rock customer surveys indicate that parents want to fill their children’s days with enriching and fun activities, and continuation of music lessons and camps is a priority.

“The summer is a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn how to play a new instrument, form a band, take voice lessons and make positive memories along the way. Summer camps provide a much-needed creative outlet for children, and with thousands of traditional camps unable to operate this year, kids need some joy now more than ever. Bach to Rock is proud that we’ve been able to adapt to help families during this incredibly challenging time,” said Brian Gross, president of Bach to Rock.  Since the addition of virtual learning, Bach to Rock instructors have taught over 70,000 lessons. Parent reviews show extremely high ratings for Bach to Rock’s quick response to the COVID-19 pandemic, their professionalism, and dedication keeping students enjoying and engaged in lessons.

At Bach to Rock summer camps, children can learn to play guitar, piano, ukulele, or drums and also learn to sing, during daily 45-minute to 90-minute sessions for week-long intervals. Options are also available for music production and songwriting.  Bach to Rock is offering small cohort group-based camps once appropriate re-opening phases are announced in each state.   In-person camps will follow Centers for Disease Control and American Camp Association Guidelines pertaining to wearing masks, disinfecting, social distancing, small cohort groupings, and limits on capacity.  Scheduling is based on school location.

Changing the Way Students Learn Music 

Bach to Rock is reshaping music education on a national scale by turning solitary, boring music lessons into a group activity that is more like a team sport.  B2R focuses on providing a well-balanced music education because, ultimately, that is what parents are looking for. Students learn the intricacies of music — from theory to how to read music. Bach to Rock is the music school kids would have designed for themselves.  They get to jam with other kids right away and play current hits. The learning is the same, but the enjoyment factor is much higher.
