As Blur once said... "Woo Hoo!"
School of Rock has been getting kids and adults inspired about
music for over a decade. We have consistently been at the
cutting edge of music education and rock performance, reflecting
our commitment to training and mentoring NZ's most exciting
up-and-coming musicians.
Our Rock Band Programme for teenagers has been custom designed to
foster NZ's next generation of music industry leaders. It
features one and a half hour weekly practices mentored by
professional musicians, songwriting, performance skill coaching,
state-of-the-art rehearsal rooms, exclusive access to masterclasses
and workshops with music industry experts, national touring for
selected bands, and playing covers and originals at the biggest and
best gigs in Auckland backed by professional PA's and trained sound
engineers.
School of Rock's one-on-one music lessons are customised to get
students of all ages excited about achieving their full potential
and helping them realise that playing music can be more than just a
hobby. Whether you want to master drums, guitar, bass guitar,
vocals, piano, keyboard, or saxophone, School of Rock offers expert
music tuition. We were the first music school in NZ to offer
Trinity Rock School exams back in 2003, and we also have expertise
in practical and theory exam preparation.
Our School Holiday Programmes are designed for beginning primary
school students as well as more experienced intermediate school
students who want to play in a rock band. Younger kids
discover that buzz of confidence by learning to play a cool rock
instrument and play in a rock band, while older students are
mentored in a mini-version of our year-long Rock Band
Programme.
School of Rock's annual year-end Rock Camp offers experienced
teenaged musicians and bands the opportunity to join 100 other
teenagers for an awesome week of nothing but rock. Since its start
in 2005, RockCamp has been held all over New Zealand and has become
famous for giving young musicians professional rock training and an
opportunity to make musical connections that will last a
lifetime. With professional mentors and famous
musicians attending as VIP guests, kids get a chance to really
get a taste of what the New Zealand music scene is
about. Check out www.rockcamp.co.nz for more.
