Bach to Rock is a standout name in music education, known for its lively and interactive teaching style. Established in 2007 by Brian Gross in Bethesda, Maryland, the brand ventured into franchising in 2011.
With its headquarters still in Bethesda, Bach to Rock offers an impressive lineup of music programs designed for both kids and adults. These include one-on-one lessons, group instruction, band rehearsals, summer camps, and special events. By 2024, the franchise proudly operates 57 locations across the U.S.
What truly sets Bach to Rock apart from typical music schools is its collaborative and performance-driven philosophy. Students are encouraged to follow their musical passions and team up with peers to form bands that take the stage.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Bach to Rock offers a comprehensive training program to ensure franchisees and their teams are well-prepared:
Bach to Rock provides franchisees with a designated Territory that typically covers around 5,000 households with children, considering factors like drive time and local barriers. Within this Territory, the franchisor agrees not to license another Bach to Rock School, giving franchisees a level of territorial protection.
However, this protection is not absolute, as the franchisor retains the right to operate or license businesses under other systems or brands, even within the same Territory.
While franchisees have territorial protections, the agreement is non-exclusive, meaning they may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or alternative distribution channels the franchisor controls.
