Initially an exciting, interactive Get Into Guitar Assembly will be held in school to introduce the children to the electric and acoustic guitar. A letter is then sent home to parents/carers detailing how the children can get involved.

WHO

The School Rockers guitar groups are aimed at year 2 – year 6 children of all musical abilities, from complete beginner to experienced player. Our teachers all are qualified primary school teachers and/or qualified musicians.

 

HOW

At the heart of Get Into Guitar is our desire to form extremely positive, genuine and meaningful relationships with our students. We supply all the necessary acoustic/electric guitars and other equipment during lessons. These sessions are differentiated to take into account differing abilities, experience levels and areas of interest. The School Rockers feature physical ‘take home’ music resources and a Get Into Guitar guide with loads of useful information for both parents and students alike.

 

WHAT

The School Rockers cover:

– Learning current songs, classic songs and theme tunes.
– Learning music that is selected by the students.
– Using interactive guitar software and Xbox guitar games.
– Playing in performances.
– Entering guitar competitions to win great prizes.
