Hello,
NEW PROGRAMMES FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR AND DRUMS
STARTING LATE FEBRUARY 2019
Blackpool Music School, is a small non- profit making, charity run, community school.
We are introducing some new programmes aimed at children aged 7 -11 and 12-15 years of age.
Classes would consist of 4 to 8 students in the electric guitar group, taught with one tutor (plus assistant) and four students for the drum group.
As we are a charity run school, we can’t charge for lessons, so the students would be enrolled on a rolling membership. The fees for this membership would be £46.00 per calendar month, to be paid by standing order. Classes will be held at the school on a Saturday or evenings, with 1-hour tuition being provided, (dates and times to be confirmed).
Students will follow the, ‘Rock School Curriculum’ and will have the opportunity to take examinations, should they wish to do so.
Most of all we want it to be enjoyable for the children and fun.

We are targeting the 12 to 15 year old age range. The students can choose from keyboard, drums, guitar and even vocals.

We are expecting an enthusiastic response to this project, so to ensure you can secure a place, please call us at your earliest convenience.
