Rock Courses

Prepare to plug in and rock out….

 

Following the amazing success of the now legendary incredible ‘Rocked Out’ courses, ‘Rocked Out 4’ promises to rock even harder and louder than the first three. Due to popular demand, an extra day has been added; ‘Rocked Out 4’ is a five day course which has been designed specifically to improve the live performance of young musicians, giving them the opportunity to play in a professional band situation whilst learning under the guidance of a collection of this country’s leading musicians and tutors. These vastly experienced musicians include members of ‘A’/The Bloodhound Gang, Graham Coxon/Charlotte Hatherley’s band, Reuben and Archie and the Instincts. The class will build students’ confidence with regard to musicianship (including theory and harmony) and improve their performance skills in terms of stage presence, timing, energy, accuracy, passion, attitude etc.

Rocked Out 4’ provides an invaluable stepping-stone between college and university for young aspiring musicians, and bridges the gap between rehearsals and shows for bands looking to move forward in the music industry.

Past tutor/student comments:

"Rocked Out, is a great opportunity for vocalists, drummers, bassists and guitarists to get a taste of reality, turning them away from being 'bedroom player's', and teaching them to become real performers on stage. Students learn a lot about the importance of being in control of their instrument, whilst listening and communicating with the other musicians around them, and enjoying it all at the same time." - Guy Davis – Reuben (Drum tutor on Rocked Out)

 

"Rocked Out definitely helped build confidence in all the students on the course in terms of performance and musical ability." - The Andy - Hundred Reasons (Bass tutor on Rocked Out)

 

"An amazing experience! Rocked Out builds confidence and skills, providing a wicked opportunity to learn and rock out in a friendly and professional environment." – Liv Roche (Vocal student on Rocked Out 2 and 3)

 

It is essential that students who wish to book a place on the course have a solid understanding of the basic techniques required to competently understand and play their instrument.
