New Bach to Rock Music School Opens in Plymouth on September 29, 2018

Bach to Rock (B2R), America’s music school for students of all ages, proudly announces the opening of a new school in Plymouth, Minnesota.  The community is invited to the free grand opening festivities on Saturday, September 29, 2018 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at 4345 Nathan Lane N., Plymouth, MN, 55442. Attendees are welcome to tour the school, enjoy a free music lesson, learn about individual lessons and group classes, try out free toddler “Mommy and Me” classes, enter prize drawings and giveaways, and check out the recording studio. They can also enjoy performances by instructors and special guests such as Chris Hawkey, a KFAN DJ and musical artist, who will attend from 3 – 4 p.m.

“Bach to Rock is generating a lot of momentum as we open more schools across the country.  We are delighted to debut our first school in Minnesota in the Minneapolis suburb of Plymouth,” said President of Bach to Rock, Brian Gross. “We offer a progressive music education program that students and parents alike will love – fun and creative for the kids, but with a solid music foundation parents will value,” he continued. The school will serve students of all ages and skill levels living in Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, and the greater Twin Cities Metro Area.

A dynamic and talented mother-son team, Judy and Jake Shoulak, head up the Plymouth school, bringing a high level of business and music experience to the venture.  Judy has over 30 years of experience in leading organizational operations and building high-performing teams.  Jake brings the musical acumen, having studied and performed extensively in the Minneapolis area and beyond, including receiving his degree in Audio Engineering from IPR.  “Opening a Bach to Rock music school is dream come true for both of us,” said Judy.  “We want to help kids that are interested in music to develop their skills here and have fun doing it,” she continued.  Jake is eager to help students collaborate and explore their passion for making music. “We can’t wait to get the doors officially opened and get the music started,” said Jake Shoulak.

With Bach to Rock, students learn to play today’s hits and jam with other kids from the start. It’s more of a group activity or team sport.  A Bach to Rock music education is synonymous with fun, cool and innovative as students learn together and from each other.  Students thrive as part of the creative and energetic vibe that comes from collectively making and learning music.

Bach to Rock Plymouth will offer a variety of programs for students of all ages including: individual and group lessons in piano, voice, guitar, drums, DJ and more; music programs for preschoolers and toddlers; beginning piano for children in grades K-2; along with summer camps and birthday parties. Bach to Rock also offers MyB2R, an online dashboard offering customers real-time access to student progress and more. MyB2R is the only digital service of its kind in the music school industry, and provides the ability to track student advancement, schedule lessons, obtain homework and stream over 300 pre-recorded songs to practice at home.

 

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. Unlike other music school franchises, Bach to Rock has an extensive curriculum. 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.
