Description
School of Rock represents a franchise opportunity for children and young adults to continue with music education that may not be available as part of the curriculum in elementary and secondary schools. Students are asked to evaluate the pros and cons of this franchise from both a financial and business basis. In addition to evaluating the franchise, students are asked to compare similar franchises and compare the advantages and disadvantages of the School of Rock to launching an independent music education business.
