Academy of Rock

This place is great. My 7yo who was kinda interested in learning guitar is now fully interested thanks to Hanay, her «totally awesome girl rock instructor». The staff is friendly, cool, and patient and know how to teach children. My girl is learning to read music and push past her comfort zone and is developing as an expressive human being. If that sounds like something you need in your life – they also teach adults. Sign up! This is soul food!

The thing that really caught my eye for this school is after being invited to a concert, you could really feel the passion in the musicians, and no doubt the quality was there too. This encouraged me to find out more about this school, after visiting the Siglap branch i was truly impressed by how brilliantly decorated the school was. One of its catch points is that they are the only music school that is dedicated to teaching rock and pop music.
You gotta say, you’ve probably seen these schools around, its a pretty awesome set up aint it?
After speaking to one of the instructors he explained to me how his methods embraced educating the students through the passion of the music, the love of performance. It is a very open minded institute, that encourages instead of discipline. For that they have my respect.
From what I have learnt, the teachers are carefully examined before recruited, and must have a minimum of grade 8 from Rockschool Ltd and a Diploma in Music Teaching from Rockschool Ltd.
AOR is also an official exam centre for Rockschool in Singapore. They are Singapore’s pioneer rock and pop music school.
