Day courses & workshops


  • Our day courses & workshops take place throughout the year with something to offer everyone. Our workshops are special graded to suit different levels, so everyone works at a level that suits them. Below are some examples of courses running in 2010.

 

Rock Academy - 5 day course - Beginners - 8 to 15 year olds
SUMMER BOOKINGS NOW OPEN

A course perfect for children and teenagers interested in being in a band. The core elements taught are popular music song writing, live performance, music production and getting started in the music industry. Everyone gets to form a band before working towards recording their own demo. This course always fills up fast, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

 

Reading Sheet Music - 3 hour course - Beginners - Children & Adults

Finding it hard to get started with notation? Maybe you have already started reading sheet music, but you just feel you’re not moving quite as fast as you would like to? Well, this is the course for you. Suitable for all musicians, we take you on a step by step approach to learning the art of reading, writing and understanding basic sheet music.
 

Popular Music Composition – 3 hour course - Intermediate - 12+

Ever wanted to sit down and write your own songs? Do you play in a band and want to make a better contribution? Our teachers have worked alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry, not to mention working as the background guys, such as the songwriters, producers, management and record companies. We offer an insider’s approach to song-writing and how the industry music moguls compose for artists around the world. A sell out course time and time again. Definitely not to be missed. Special guest appearances from well know artists.
 

Music Marketing & PR - 3 hour course - All Levels - 14+

Our expert staff take you through the best ways to promote what you’re doing and how to get your message out to the masses. Online, Press, Radio, TV and Gigging, all covered in this great way to self-promotion within the industry. Special guest appearances from top industry managers and record label bosses.
