For years, students as young as 5 and as old as 70 have come together under one roof to share their love of music.
Whether it was for individual lessons with an instructor or a large band practice, students have learned to call the School of Rock in Broomfield their "home away from home."
But in March, when the COVID-19 pandemic struck Colorado, the school's eight lesson rooms and two rehearsal rooms that traditionally echoed with the sounds of guitars, drums, singers and laughter became silent.
"Our business model and our community is pretty social and so much of what we do is group based, and our school is sort of a hangout location for some of our students, and that all went away overnight," said Jessica Moriarta, the owner of School of Rock Broomfield.
