School of Rock, a provider of performance-based music education and headquartered in Canton, Mass., with more than 355 schools across 15 global markets, is looking to expand its presence in metro Detroit through franchising.
“We do more than teach students to play their favorite songs,” says Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. “We nurture confidence, foster teamwork, and instill self-discipline for success. Over the years, hundreds of thousands have entered our kids’ music programs and left as accomplished musicians. We’re excited to expand our presence to Detroit, a city with a rich musical legacy from its Motown roots to its rock ‘n’ roll history.”
The School of Rock curriculum provides students with a music education, which includes bass lessons, guitar lessons, singing lessons, drum lessons, and piano lessons. Drawing from all styles of rock and roll, School of Rock students learn theory and techniques via songs from various famous artists.
With more than two decades of experience, School of Rock offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to quickly plug into a global brand with a proven business model.
Many of its franchise owners started their journey as parents of students enrolled in School of Rock programs. Through music, prospective franchise owners have the chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of students and their communities.
“Music has always been a passion of mine, and owning a School of Rock has given me a career with purpose,” says Chris Marek, current franchise owner of two current and one future School of Rock locations in Michigan. “I met so many amazing, creative people through opening the Canton Township school in 2019, that I was inspired to open a second location in Farmington in 2021, and I am currently working to open a third school. I love being a School of Rock owner.”
The initial investment for a School of Rock franchise is approximately $395,800 – $537,400 including a $49,900 franchise fee. Ideally candidates, or a group of investors, will have a net worth of $350,000, of which $150,000 is liquid. Additionally, U.S. military veterans receive a special discount on their initial franchise fee.
