School of Rock Joins Hard Rock International's BreakOut® Premier Experiences Program

Group guitar and vocal lessons turn company meetings into interactive jam sessions

February 10, 2020 // Franchising.com // CANTON, Mass. - School of Rock and Hard Rock International believe that getting away from the office should be fun and collaborative. In an effort to provide authentic experiences that connect people through the power of music, School of Rock and the iconic hotel brand are teaming up to provide exciting new interactive experiences that will redefine the meeting space as part of Hard Rock's BREAKOUT® Meetings offerings.

School of Rock will offer several experiences through this program to the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) community. The guitar aspect will offer group guitar lessons to encourage social sharing and team building tailored specifically to any organization's needs. School of Rock will also provide a band activity where groups can learn various instruments to collectively perform a hit song as a collaborative super band. Karaoke skills can be brought to the stage during a singing activation where attendees will work with a vocal instructor and take the stage to front a live band. School of Rock will work with participating organizations to build completely custom created experiential activations for their events. The School of Rock programming is available at all Hard Rock Hotels around the globe.

"We received tremendous feedback when we first tested this program at Hard Rock in Atlantic City. At the same time, across all our locations, we are seeing a greater demand for our adult programs," said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. "It is clear that adults are interested in this type of collaborative creative expression and this partnership with Hard Rock is just one more way in which we are fulfilling our mission to enrich lives through music."

"On the hotel and casino level, we have been utilizing brand programming for years, and now, we are thrilled to announce that we are transitioning those premier experiences over to our meetings and events," stated Danielle Babilino, senior vice president, Global Sales & Marketing for Hard Rock International. "This transition would not be possible without the help of our partners, who have assisted in recreating our unmatched offerings to ensure that they are custom-catered to our friends in the MICE community."

School of Rock provides students of all ages an exciting and engaging learning environment for taking guitar lessons, drum lessons, bass lessons, keyboard lessons and singing lessons. Drawing from all styles of rock and roll, School of Rock students learn theory and techniques via songs from legendary artists such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Frank Zappa. Thanks to the school's performance-based approach, students around the world have gained superior instrumental skills and confidence on the big stage, with some moving on to record deals and larger platforms such as American Idol, The Voice and Broadway.
