The REAL SCHOOL OF ROCK has opened a franchise school in the Wilmington, DE area with Eric Svalgård, formerly Music Director of the Downingtown, PA location, as its director. Started in the spring of 1998 when founder Paul Green moved his lessons out of his basement, the Paul Green School of Rock Music will soon be teaching kids to rock in more than a dozen locations.
As our national and local press, and the recently released documentary ROCK SCHOOL attest, School of Rock is a place where middle and high schoolers learn to perform classic and modern rock music, in clubs and professional venues with professional sound, lights and (where appropriate) smoke. Rock School students have performed in over 400 concerts, to more than 100,000 people, in such legendary venues as CBGBs, The Trocadero in Philadelphia, the Knitting Factory in NYC and Philadelphia, Cervantes in Denver and BB Kings in Times Square. They have performed with such legends as Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton, Motley Crue, Ike Willis, and John Mayer.
Mr. Eric Svalgård, educated at Berklee College of Music in Boston, has worked within the organization for the last 3 years when he has not been on tour with Project Object, a nationally touring Frank Zappa tribute band featuring original members of Frank's bands.
The school is located at the Wilmington Grand Opera House at 818 North Market Street. We are open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Call us at 1-302-225- ROCK (7625)
