September is full of summer memories & fall dreams!
2023 AllStars Tour
We are so proud of all the work, skill, and professionalism our 2023 AllStars displayed this year. We had an incredible 5 students selected from Vienna, which is quite an accomplishment for a program that only selects the Top 1% of all students throughout the entire School of Rock community! They played some amazing venues all across North America -Lollapalooza and Reggie's in Chicago, Toad's Place in New Haven, Underground Arts in Philly, The Biltmore Theater in Ontario, George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, City Winery in Nashville, and The Echo in LA! Check out just a few of these awesome stage photos...
SUMMER CAMPS ROCKED THE HOUSE!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our 2023 Summer Camp Season. In only six short weeks we had hundreds of first-time and returning campers learn a ton of great songs and rock out on stage! Thanks to all the Parents, Campers, Camp Directors, and Interns for a Summer to remember! And we hope to see you all this Fall!!

Inside the studio with house band
This past weekend, our very own Vienna House Band had the exciting opportunity to lay down some tracks at the legendary Omega Recording Studios in Rockville, Maryland! It was such a fun and educational experience. They all performed like seasoned pros! Check out a few more pics below.
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Meet SOR Drummer Anjali K!
What is your favorite thing about School of Rock Vienna? SOR Vienna is a really nice community and I love getting to perform with bands!
What is one of your favorite things you’ve learned from your time here so far? I have learned how to add feeling into a song and learn songs in a way that lets you play it in an original way. How to improvise on the drums is one of the most important things I've learned.
What advice would you give to all the new SOR student musicians? My advice to new SOR students is to not let making mistakes and messing up stop you from performing and practicing.
Top 5 Bands/Artists You Love:
Jimi Hendrix
Jamiroquai
Remi Wolf
Hole
The Beths
If you could be in any band or artist (past or present) who would it be and why? I would want to play with Blondie or Amy Winehouse because their live versions are really fun and the songs are so great! It seems like they would be good high energy singers.
