Bach to Rock: America's Music School (B2R) is an exciting music education experience balancing technique and music theory on one side with performance opportunities and expanded repertoire on the other. Students have fun because they learn what they want to learn. B2R uses a library of over 500 songs arranged at three different skill levels appropriate for each student's needs. In a few months students can take what they have learned in the private lesson room and join with other students in the band room to play together and perform. In addition, early childhood music experiences are offered from toddlers through kindergarten. Watch for a grand opening this February 2022 in the Columbus metropolitan area of Powell!
