My 11 year old son, who is a beginner and can be very shy, played with some of the other kids and plugged away. He learned and practiced his teacher felt he could handle at this point, found out what its like to stand up in front of a large group and be watched, saw his friends and more advanced fellow students take a shot at performing solo and heard whistles and applause for his group. My wife and I had a lovely night and when she asked me what I thought I said, How can anyone NOT like this? Thanks for the great job Thunder Road

The stylish and hip layout of the studio encourages the kids to feel like true rock stars. The Sunday Jam Sessions with fellow students give them the opportunity to experience what it would be like to have their own garage band. The kids get to jam with each other in a fantastically fun environment. Why would anyone choose to take lessons in a glass booth at a music store when they could have so much more. Thunder Road Rocks

Thunder Road Music Studios is a great place to take lessons for guitar and drums. They offer other instrument and voice lessons as well, but our family has first-hand experience with drums, bass, and guitar. The camp program in the summer is a great opportunity for young musicians to learn timing, playing with a mix of instruments, and supporting singers as well. They've been flexible with juggling our schedules too! They teach kids and adults alike. We highly recommend in giving them a try if you are looking to learn an instrument. or just want to improve upon what you already know.

We've done lessons, the jam sessions and now the summer camp. Our boys love Thunder Road, and I could not be happier with our experience there. The staff is amazing, the kids have a great time and watching them have the rock band experience is such great fun. It's a well run organization and I really feel they are there to make sure everybody learns a little and has a great time. Chalk us up for two very happy parents and two very happy boys.
