School of Rock Teaches Kids to Rock "on stage, and in life"
The School of Rock has moved to Marlboro, and is set to open next week.
The School of Rock is a performance-based approach to your child's musical talents, and teaches kids how to play their instruments while giving them the confidence to perform on stage.
The school, now in Marlboro, is opening Sept. 24. According to the national School of Rock website, the organization teaches kids ages 7-18 to rock "on stage and in life."
The school is owned by couple Antonina Basile and Mike Basile, who have two children in the program, and believe the band formed at the school should learn to do good for the community. Recently, House Band performed at The Stone Pony for the Ronald McDonald House charity.

"We believe so much in the foundation of this program...and have seen such growth, both musical and personal in our own children that we decided to take the plunge and become owners,” said Antonina. "We are looking forward to bringing great music to Monmouth County and are hoping to partner with local charities to introduce the kids to the power of civic duty."
School of Rock's grand opening, from 1:30-3:30 p.m., will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony, House Band, hot dog cart, tour of the facility and a chance to see students rehearsing.
