Since its foundation in 1998, the School of Rock franchise has taught performance based music education. There are two schools in the Greater Pittsburgh area that have been around for nearly twelve years. One is in Wexford, and the other in Castle Shannon.
Giovanni Mori, former School of Rock student and one of WQED’s summer interns, sits with the co-owners of the Pittsburgh schools, Quinn Lukas and Dan Moore. They discuss what School of Rock is, what students can learn, and what their experience has been like before acquiring ownership.
The schools have many exciting things coming up for the rest of 2025. This includes their Grand Re-Opening events on October 10th in Wexford, and October 17th in Castle Shannon. These events will have many fun activities for new and current students. View trial lessons, mock band rehearsals and performances, and more! There is lot's to do at Pittsburgh's School of Rock!
