“We’ve had tremendous success in Virginia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and California and look forward to continuing our expansion across the Mid-Atlantic, into states such as North Carolina, which Forbes recently ranked as the third best state for businesses,” said Brian Gross, president of Bach to Rock. “Most of today’s children don’t remember a time before there were self-made YouTube stars and shows like The Voice, Glee and American Idol. Our franchisees benefit from this music-driven culture and have a huge opportunity to bring quality music education to children in communities across America.”

For Chris Wood, Gary Mizhir and Dave Albaugh, the three owners of Game 7 Ventures, LLC, music has been a passion their entire lives. Wood has been a vocalist since an early age and plays piano and viola, and Mizhir has been a drummer since age seven. Albaugh has been a fan of music his entire life and is excited to get more involved by becoming a part of the Bach to Rock family. The three entrepreneurs look forward to bringing great music education programs to the target markets and getting heavily involved in the communities.

“As long-time residents in these areas, we feel like we are well-suited to understand the needs of local families and how music can make a positive impact. We want to make it easier for kids to enjoy getting involved and staying involved in music from an early age, and we believe that Bach to Rock provides a great vehicle and format for doing that,” said Gary Mizhir, Bach to Rock franchisee. “We are excited to join the brand and believe the Bach to Rock concept gives kids a positive social setting and the opportunity to learn and develop valuable life skills such as teamwork, accountability and social presence.”
