Bach to Rock (B2R), America’s music school for students of all ages, proudly announces the opening of its newest school in Tampa, Florida. The community is invited to the free grand opening event on Saturday, November 10, 2018 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at 17463 N. Dale Mabry Highway, Lutz, Florida, 33548 in the Van Dyke Commons shopping plaza. Attendees are invited to tour the school, which pays tribute to Florida bands and musicians, take a free music lesson, enter prize drawings and giveaways, and enjoy live performances. A wide assortment of music memorabilia will adorn the school’s hallways and walls, including references to Matchbox 20, NSync, Tom Petty and Lynyrd Skynyrd — who each debuted in Florida.
Tampa resident Rick Schmidt is the new franchise owner of the school. As a music and radio executive for over 20 years, he is tapping into his background to offer families a meaningful and valuable music education experience for their kids. “Having a hands-on franchise owner with Rick Schmidt’s experience adds a certain cachet. His roots in the radio and music industry are deep. He knows how to help musicians grow and evolve their talents,” said President of Bach to Rock, Brian Gross. Schmidt’s career includes programming Tampa’s 98Rock and some of the nation’s largest rock radio stations, signing recording artists to music labels and marketing large events and venues. As a radio program director, Schmidt helped launch the careers of Florida bands Sister Hazel, Creed and Shinedown.
Schmidt has also represented various artists that have collectively: sold over 1.5 million albums; scored four top-15 rock hits; received video play on MTV; had music featured in video games, and even had one artist provide the walk-up song for former Tampa Bay Rays baseball all-star, Evan Longoria.
“Owning a Bach to Rock school is a high point in my career. I’m able to give back to our community and help inspire a new generation of musicians with our progressive music education program,” said Schmidt. Bach to Rock dials in to what’s hot in music to appeal to students and cultivates their talents from there. “We teach the basics and music theory, but we make it relatable, which helps foster learning,” continued Schmidt. Bach to
to Rock provides instruction in a variety of music genres like alternative, country, pop, rock, jazz and EDM.
Changing the Way Students Learn Music
Bach to Rock is reshaping music education on a national scale by turning solitary, boring music lessons into a group activity that is more like a team sport. B2R focuses on providing a well-balanced music education because, ultimately, that is what parents are looking for. Unlike other music school franchises, Bach to Rock has an extensive curriculum. Students learn the intricacies of music — from theory to how to read music. Bach to Rock is the music school kids would have designed for themselves. They get to jam with other kids right away and play current hits. The learning is the same, but the enjoyment factor is much higher.
Bach to Rock Lutz will offer a variety of programs for students of all ages including: individual and group lessons in piano, voice, guitar, drum, DJ and more; music programs for preschoolers and toddlers; beginning piano for children in grades K-2; along with summer camps and birthday parties. Bach to Rock also offers MyB2R, an online dashboard offering customers real-time access to student progress and more. MyB2R is the only digital service of its kind in the music school industry, and provides the ability to track student advancement, schedule lessons, obtain homework and stream over 300 pre-recorded songs to practice at home.

A few years ago, he researched music schools for his children and found that most local schools are in teacher homes or small offices. He wanted to find something unique and innovative, not only for his kids, but other aspiring musicians. Bach to Rock was the answer. Bach to Rock offers a fun and cool approach to music education - gone are the days of boring and solitary lessons. “Owning a Bach to Rock school enables me to bring together everything that I love. I can give back to my community, help cultivate future musicians and jump start the music education industry here in Tampa,” continued Schmidt.

In a fierce competition at the 2022 Bach To Rock Battle of the Bands, 20 bands went head-to-head at 89 North Music Venue in Patchogue, NY on Sunday, June 12th. Hundreds of proud parents, family members and fans came to support and cheer on students from B2R Port Washington. The groups competed at the iconic Long Island venue and rocked the spectacular hotspot.
"The students, who range in age from 8 to 18, and their band coaches worked tirelessly to prepare for this epic, annual event and I’m beyond proud of all the performers," said B2R Port Washington Director, Elana Hayden. “After the past two years with virtually no live performances, we were excited and beyond grateful for the opportunity to perform for a live audience at the fabulous 89 North."
Three seasoned music industry professionals, Wayne Schuster (Blood, Sweat and Tears, Phoebe Snow), Amber Ferrari (Paula Cole, Taylor Dayne), and Carl Pfanstiehl (original B2R Director of Operations) judged the performances. Close to 100 students performed in three divisions - Elementary, Middle, and High School – all rocking 89 North. "While this is a competition, the main point is for the kids to have a great experience, get to perform live - and to have fun and feel like a rock star!” said Elana.
The bands were scored on several criteria including musical ability, technical ability, stage presence, material, creativity, and professionalism. All the competitors study a variety of musical disciplines at Bach to Rock music school on Port Washington Blvd, including music theory, instrument instruction, recording arts, performance arts, voice lessons and band coaching.
The winners included:
Congratulations to all of our DJs who participated in this year's MD/VA Battle of the DJs. Competitors took home prizes sponsored by Chuck Levins as well as awesome feedback from our judges DJ Beauty and the Beatz, DJ Spicez, and DJ Sean J.
