School of Rock Murfreesboro
Bart and Christy Stewart opened School of Rock Murfreesboro on NW Broad Street in 2025 — a brand new location they launched from scratch. Bart is a bass player and educator; Christy is an entrepreneur and business coach. The Rutherford County Business Network introduced them to town in March that year — folks were already spotting the two of them at Friday Nights on the Square before the doors ever opened.

How The Front Door Works
Not just listed. Vetted.
Every Smyrna and Murfreesboro business on The Front Door earns its spot through three things: a personal visit, real community reviews, and a free gift for the people who walk in.
I Walk In
Every business on this list has been personally visited. I meet the owners, see the space, and get the real story, not just the website version.
The Community Speaks
At least 4 stars and 10 Google reviews. Real people, real experiences. If the community hasn’t vouched for them, they’re not on the list.
They Give Back
Every listed business offers something free, a guide, a consultation, an ebook. Something of real value. Because the best businesses lead with generosity.
