2023 Highlights

  • Bach to Rock experienced steady growth in 2023 and closed the year with system-wide revenue totaling over $29 million.
  • Twenty-six schools generated revenues of over $500,000, including thirteen locations which exceeded $750,000 and four schools which exceeded $1M, and the system expanded by three new locations.
  • Achieved the Elite Level System-Wide Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 79 for 2023. NPS is a common metric used in customer experience programs. An NPS score measures customer loyalty by looking at their likelihood of recommending a given business.
  • The brand's 25th multi-unit location opened, signifying a milestone in Bach to Rock's growth over the last ten years. Currently, there are ten multi-unit franchisees covering the states of Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
  • The number of students enrolled increased by over 12 percent, to over 27,000 families.
  • The Bach to Rock after-school, day-off, and seasonal camp programs experienced a 40 percent increase versus 2022.

2024 Plans

  • Bach to Rock is expanding its online portal, MyB2R, to students. Previously, a tool for parents to track progress and assignments, students will now be able to access the music library, track assignments, manage lessons and performances, refine skills with built-in practice tools, earn rewards and easily communicate with instructors.
  • After the launch of the student portal, Bach to Rock will be introducing the MyB2R app in the second quarter to provide on-the-go access for managing, tracking, and maximizing each student's musical progress.
  • To facilitate franchise growth and development, the Bach to Rock franchise website is being relaunched in the first half of the year.
  • The Back to Rock Beat Refinery DJ program will become a larger centerpiece for the brand as more and more consumers (children and adults) seek to make their own music and learn how to master mixing, production, and performance.
