October 28, 2021 // Franchising.com // CANTON, Mass. - School of Rock announces the opening of its first Taiwan location in Taichung City. John Caraccio, the master franchisee in Taiwan, is primed to open at least 19 additional schools in the market in the coming years. The early excitement among Taichung City School of Rock enrollees is representative of the strong demand for innovative music education in Asia.

"We are elated to be bringing such a unique and fun concept to Taiwan," said John Caraccio, master franchisee of School of Rock and owner of SOR Taiwan Company LTD. "While most Taiwanese children learn either violin or piano, there is no system available for learning to perform with other kids, or to perform pop music and rock songs they actually enjoy. Now they will have that opportunity with the opening of our first School of Rock in Taichung City.”

The new flagship School of Rock is a 16,000-square-foot, school-within-a-school building that houses the following: separate wings for children and adult performance-based learning and music practice rooms; sales and training rooms for franchisees; and a retail store.

"John Caraccio is passionate about Taiwan's vibrant creative community, music education, and personal development,” said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. “We are delighted to have him lead our efforts in Taiwan and we look to celebrate the long-term impact he will have on his students.”

School of Rock provides students of all ages an exciting and engaging learning environment for taking guitar lessons,drum lessons, bass lessons, keyboard lessons, and singing lessons. Drawing from all styles of rock and roll, School of Rock students learn theory and techniques via songs from legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin, Lenny Kravitz and Led Zeppelin. Thanks to the school's patented performance-based learning approach, students around the world have gained superior instrumental skills and confidence on the big stage, with some moving on to record deals and larger platforms such as American Idol, The Voice and Broadway.
