Bach to Rock Music School Opens First Connecticut Location in Ridgefield

 

 

 Bach to Rock (B2R), America’s music school for students of all ages, announced today that its first Connecticut school is now open in Ridgefield.  To celebrate Bach to Rock’s grand opening, the school will host an open house on Saturday, September 24 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at 15 Danbury Road, Suite 5 (Girolametti Plaza), Ridgefield, Connecticut, 06877. The community is invited to tour the school, enjoy a free music lesson, learn about individual lessons and group classes, try out free toddler “Mommy and Me” classes, enter into prize drawings and giveaways, check out the recording studio, meet the teachers, and more.

“The new Bach to Rock in Ridgefield is certain to become a community hub not only in Ridgefield, Danbury, Wilton and Redding, but also in nearby North and South Salem, Lewisboro and Pound Ridge. Carl Giangrasso, our new franchisee heading the school, is very dedicated.  His enthusiasm is certain to resonate with customers,” said President of Bach to Rock, Brian Gross.  “The new teaching team is very talented, and covers all music genres.  And that synchs up with the B2R method, which encourages students to explore the kinds of music they love, and then play that music with other students in a band and perform in a public space,” Gross said. 

“We jumped right into launch mode before construction on the school even started. We have been out in the community participating in events such as the Ridgefield Kid’s Fest, SummerFest and other local activities,” said franchisee Carl Giangrasso. “It’s very gratifying to know we will be helping musicians and aspiring musicians of all ages to express their musical creativity,” Giangrasso said.

Bach to Rock Ridgefield will offer a variety of programs for students of all ages, including individual lessons, group classes such as DJ lessons, Rock Band, early childhood programs for children as young as toddler and preschool age, summer camps and birthday parties. Studies have shown that learning to play music in a group helps students learn teamwork, develop social skills and build self-esteem, among other benefits.  The school will also feature Bach to Rock’s new Touch Screen Tablet Technology, which allows teachers to customize lessons; gives parents the ability to view their children’s progress and homework; and provides administrators with the necessary tools to ensure students are receiving a well-balanced music education.
