South Plainfield School Of Rock Opens Nov. 2

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — A School of Rock will open Nov. 2 in South Plainfield.

The new School of Rock will be located at 901 Oak Tree Road, South Plainfield, NJ 07080. They will have a grand opening from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Nov. 2, featuring live music performances, tours of the school, a piñata guitar smashing, giveaways and red ribbon-cutting with South Plainfield Mayor Matthew Anesh.

School of Rock offers music lessons to students of all ages, regardless of previous musical experience. School of Rock offers lessons in bass, guitar, singing, drums, piano and more. Through iconic songs by artists like Aretha Franklin, Lenny Kravitz and Led Zeppelin, students learn essential music theory and techniques. The performance-based approach has helped students achieve exceptional proficiency, with some securing record deals and appearing on American Idol, The Voice and Broadway.

The South Plainfield School of Rock is owned by a husband-wife team, Fabio and Rita Seidl. The two have always had a strong passion for music, with Rita’s background as an instructor teaching Portuguese through Brazilian songs, and Fabio, who has played in a band since he was a teenager and used to write articles for music publications.

They were ultimately inspired to open a School of Rock of their own after seeing the positive impact it had on their own daughter, who was a student at the Chatham location.

“We believe that School of Rock is more than just making musicians. We’ve learned first-hand through our daughter's experience that music has the power to help anyone of any age live a happier and more fulfilling life," said the couple. "We’re grateful to School of Rock for giving us the opportunity to share our love of music with South Plainfield."

“Rita and Fabio’s journey from devoted musicians and instructors to School of Rock owners is incredible, and we are so excited to see them lead their own School of Rock Franchise” said Stacey Ryan, School of Rock CEO. “With their background and love for music, the South Plainfield community is lucky to have them teaching music to the next generation of rock stars.”
