Bach to Rock Lake Mary FL

Community Invited to Grand Opening Party on February 23, 2019

Bach to Rock (B2R), America’s music school for students of all ages, proudly announces the opening of a new school in Lake Mary, Florida.  The community is invited to the free grand opening festivities on Saturday, February 23, 2019 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at 3609 Lake Emma Road, Lake Mary, Florida, 32746.   Attendees are welcome to tour the school, enjoy a free music lesson, learn about individual lessons and group classes, try out free toddler “Mommy and Me” classes, enter prize drawings and giveaways, check out the recording studio, and enjoy performances by instructors.  This location marks Bach to Rock’s third school in Florida and its 38th in the country.

“We are so pleased to be opening our third school in Florida in Lake Mary. Our Jacksonville school is thriving and our Tampa school is off to a terrific start, which are great indicators of success for this new location.  I am confident that families in Lake Mary and Orlando will value our approach and students will love the cool and innovative way we teach,” said President of Bach to Rock, Brian Gross. Nationwide, Bach to Rock has instructed over 10,000 aspiring musicians. “With Bach to Rock, gone are the days of boring and solitary music lessons.  Students learn to play today’s hits and jam with other kids from the start. It’s more like a group activity or team sport,” continued Gross. The school will serve students from Lake Mary, Heathrow, Sanford, Winter Springs and Longwood.

Jeff and Jesi Marin are the new franchise owners of the school.  Since deciding to team with Bach to Rock, the couple has been hard at work building out their school and readying it for the community.  With children of their own, the couple saw a need for quality music education that excites kids and keeps them engaged.  “There’s nothing that compares to our Bach to Rock in Lake Mary.   We deliver a solid music foundation in a fun and progressive way.    It’s the best of both worlds –parents and their children alike will love the results,” said Jeff Marin.

The Marins have hired Rae White LaRoche as the school’s director.  She has previously managed franchise businesses and hosted a radio show on Beach 92.7 FM.  Plus, she is a busy mom and active community volunteer.   “Rae is ideal for this role. She brings a strong business background, a passion for educating children and meaningful ties to our community.  We are very excited to have her join the team,” said Jesi Marin.

Bach to Rock Lake Mary will offer a variety of programs for students of all ages including: individual and group lessons in piano, voice, guitar, drum and more; music programs for preschoolers and toddlers; beginning piano for children in grades K-2; along with summer camps and birthday parties. Bach to Rock also offers MyB2R, an online dashboard offering customers real-time access to student progress and more. MyB2R is the only digital service of its kind in the music school industry, and provides the ability to track student advancement, schedule lessons, obtain homework and stream over 300 pre-recorded songs to practice at home.

Changing the Way Students Learn Music 

Bach to Rock is reshaping music education on a national scale by turning solitary, boring music lessons into a group activity that is more like a team sport.  B2R focuses on providing a well-balanced music education because, ultimately, that is what parents are looking for. Unlike other music school franchises, Bach to Rock has an extensive curriculum. Students learn the intricacies of music — from theory to how to read music. Bach to Rock is the music school kids would have designed for themselves.  They get to jam with other kids right away and play current hits. The learning is the same, but the enjoyment factor is much higher.
