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.

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.
