It’s common for kids to love making music, but not
the work that it takes to improve at their instru-
ments. BACH TO
ROCK, the chain of
music schools that
recently opened a
branch in Wayne,
has a solution to
that problem: It
uses the group
dynamic found on
sports teams to
keep kids playing
and practicing.
“Students learn to
play today’s hits
and jam with other kids from the start,” says
Brian Gross, president of Bach to Rock. “You’ll see
students paired up in groups and teams to help
ignite the musical energy.” Students toddler-age and
older may take lessons in groups — or individually,
if they prefer — in piano, voice, guitar, drum and
other instruments. The Wayne location is the
company’s 39th nationwide. Parties and summer,
spring and winter music camps also available.

WORKING OUT TO HELP EDUCATE KIDS
Wayne’s JESSICA GLAZER, a physical trainer profiled in our Spring
2018 issue, is using a portion of the proceeds from her classes and
FITtrips to benefit young minds: with the help of her clients, she
recently donated $20,000 to the non-profit Pencils of Promise to
fund the building of a school. Since its modest launch in 2008 with
$25, the organization has built more than 500 schools serving
nearly 100,000 students in Ghana, Guatemala and Laos.
