Music fanatics Chuck and Donna Silber own School of Rock Fort Collins and have attended over 300 concerts together. After deciding they wanted to choose a location for School of Rock where it would thrive but also somewhere they wanted to love, they found Fort Collins.

“With its strong music culture, vibrant performance scene, and warm community vibe, we quickly fell in love with Fort Collins and knew that it would be the perfect place to open our School of Rock,” said Donna Silber, General Manager, and Co-Owner. “We see School of Rock not just as a business opportunity, but as a way to truly make a difference in both kids and adult lives,” Donna said.

School of Rock provides students of all ages unique music lesson experiences from guitar and singing lessons to drum, bass, and piano lessons. Furthermore, School of Rock students learn theory and techniques from artists including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Frank Zappa.
