(MORGANVILLE, NJ) -- School of Rock, a leader in performance-based music education, announces the grand opening of a school in Marlboro, New Jersey. The event will take place at 256 Hwy 79, Morganville from 12:00pm - 5:00pm on Saturday, October 22. Festivities will include performances by the school’s house band, a raffle, and a prize wheel, with discounts and trial music lessons by request.
School of Rock Marlboro is owned by Andrew Lubeck. Andrew has been playing guitar for nearly four decades and currently plays in a working band. Prior to owning a School of Rock location, Andrew worked in high tech for 20 years. After being laid off twice in four years, he decided he wanted to own his own business and have control over his future. School of Rock was the perfect choice.
“We believe that the combination of performanced-based music education and School of Rock’s patented teaching approach is the best and easiest way for people of all ages to learn to play music and enrich their lives," said Andrew. “We take a tremendous amount of pride in our school, our fantastic teachers, and our patented curriculum. Stop by the school for a tour and a trial lesson for you or your child, and find out what makes School of Rock different from traditional music schools.”
School of Rock provides students of all ages an exciting and engaging music lesson experience, 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 legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin, Lenny Kravitz, and Led Zeppelin. Thanks to the school’s performance-based approach, students around the world have gained superior musical proficiency, with some moving on to record deals and larger platforms such as American Idol, The Voice and Broadway.
“Andrew is exactly the type of person we look for to lead a School of Rock franchise,” said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. “He is passionate about his community and eager to provide opportunities for students to further their music education. I look forward to watching School of Rock Marlboro grow as his students thrive."
