With a new TV show based on the movie in the works, let’s remember all the best lessons from School of Rock .
Music isn't a contest.
Spoiler alert: The School of Rock kids don't actually win the Battle of the Bands at the end of the movie. But does it make them love playing and making music any less? No, and that's the lesson: Not everything is about popularity or record sales; music itself is the reward.
There are no real rules when it comes to making and loving music...
Don't know how to play a musical instrument? Never sung a song in your life? That doesn't mean you can't make music! Forget about what music "should" sound like or traditionally be and get experimenting.

...but that doesn't mean you can't learn from some of history's greats.
Even if there aren't any real rules, you can still study and appreciate the music of people who came before you. Whether you love Led Zeppelin, Public Enemy, or The Carter Family, delving into music history is fun. Everyone's art is always at least a little inspired by someone else's, after all.
Music brings people together.
Anyone who's ever been in a pulsating crowd at a concert knows the power that music has to bring people closer to one another — sometimes too close.
