BAY RIDGE  — School of Rock, a music school for children and adults with more than 375 locations in 16 global markets, officially opened its second Brooklyn location at 6901 Third Ave. in Bay Ridge.

The grand opening celebration, which took place at the school on Aug. 9, featured an official ribbon-cutting, a “guitar smashing” ceremony and various live music performances by the school’s students.

There are 13 instructors on premises, including many from the neighborhood, according to   Andrew Totolos, School of Rock (Bay Ridge) co-owner and general manager.

“Here both kids and adults establish lasting friendships, develop connections with bandmates, and they learn how to serve the song, and also how to work together with other people,” said Totolos.
