School of Rock’s newly-launched artist sessions give students live access to world-famous musicians

With the launch of its Artist Sessions program, School of Rock gives its 40,000 students access to musicians from bands such as Slipknot, Sum 41, P!nk, and more.

School of Rock has begun augmenting its newly launched School of Rock Remote program with exclusive access to famous rock stars. The sessions are giving students live daily online tutorials and Q&As, with musicians from Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, Guns N’ Roses, Beyonce and Stevie Wonder lined up to feature next.

Each session lasts for an hour, features artists from various genres and are currently available to enrolled students at no additional cost.

Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock, said: “We know everyone at home is looking for ways to engage and explore. That’s why we are collaborating with world-class artists to provide our students with an intimate opportunity to connect.

“We put the word out and the response has been incredible. I am particularly proud that our team is using this opportunity to advance the cause of suicide prevention.”

Professional musicians participating in Artist Sessions are also donating their time and helping to raise awareness for School of Rock’s philanthropic partner, the Society of Prevention of Teen Suicide.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, School of Rock launched School of Rock Remote last month where some 40,000 students can use video conferencing during their regularly scheduled lesson times to gain access to their skilled music instructor. In addition, the company has launched masterclasses and group check-ins to advance musical proficiency and community. Since these programs are available online, School of Rock is now available to everyone who wants to use this time to become a musician.
