“We are delighted to be opening our second Bach to Rock school. We have had a wonderful response in Nashville West, and we felt we could help more aspiring student musicians by expanding to Franklin. The Bach to Rock methodology – the curriculum, music catalog, and the emphasis on both theory and performance – has proven to be highly successful,” said Michael Peacock. “Our students and their parents are happy. And our fun and encouraging learning environment gives kids a welcoming space to explore their creativity and musicianship.”

Bach to Rock Franklin offers programs for students of all ages including individual and group lessons in piano, voice, guitar, drums and more; “Rock City” for preschoolers and “Rock and Roll” for toddlers; beginning piano “Kids n Keys” for children in grades K-2; and summer camps and birthday parties. Plus, students can get involved in a glee club or rock band.  A special feature is Bach to Rock’s Beat Refinery®, where students learn how to become DJs through practical and artistic training.
