School of Rock

THIS is School of Rock. Grayson is a SoR student in LA, California and a talented drummer. Last month, he and his family lost their home and all their belongings in the Alameda Fire in LA. Despite this devastating loss, Grayson navigated it with remarkable positivity and gratitude, focusing on what truly mattered—his family and loved ones being safe. Grayson is also an inspiration beyond music. Despite being visually impaired, he has dedicated himself to helping others, working with his family to raise canes for blind children in Africa. His resilience and generosity moved me deeply. Shortly after learning his story, I met with our friends at Music Will, Dave Wish and Mike Wasserman, who were showing me their new Zip-Kit—a drum kit that fits in a bucket. Small, portable, and powerful. I shared Grayson’s story with them, and without hesitation, they said, "We will send him this prototype!" Here is Grayson receiving his new Zip-Kit, ensuring that even during this challenging time, he can continue drumming and making music that brings him joy while his family rebuilds. #enrichinglives #schoolofrock #musicwill Ryan Schiff Christopher Czaja

This weekend I got the opportunity to judge a School of Rock house band battle between three STL area schools. I can tell you, it’s hard to deliberate between three awesome bands. Fun to catch up with my colleague Toby Mechem and to see some of my former Kirkwood kiddos. St. Peters School of Rock took home the award, but we were all winners. 🙌🤘🏼✨ . . . #yeb #schoolofrock #battleofthebands

Confidence fuels competence. At School of Rock, we see this every day. Rob Price, President of Youth Enrichment Brands, recently shared insights on how performance-based learning helps kids grow both musically and personally. When students step into a band, they’re not just learning notes and chords—they’re building resilience, teamwork, and self-assurance. A supportive environment makes all the difference. By lowering the stakes of failure and fostering a culture of encouragement, we help kids develop the confidence they need to master their instruments and take the stage. The key? Creating communities where kids feel safe to take risks, learn from mistakes, and celebrate progress. That’s how confidence and competence grow together.
