We create bespoke courses for your needs: We don't just deliver workshops, we can deliver accredited courses up to level 2 (GCSE standard) and music Grades.

learning

Anyone can play. youcanrock have spent the last 10 years getting complete beginners playing together from the moment they pick up the instrument.

All our workshops focus on learning music in a hands on practical way. We build up real-world skills: understanding rhythm, learning chords, how to read song charts, how to improvise using scales, creating different sound textures and styles. Breaking down the arrangements into bite size chunks.

complete beginners

We do work with experienced and competent bands and musicians, however, our passion is working with people who have always wanted to play but think they can't do it. In just two days our music taster workshops give beginners a chance to play Drum keys bass and guitar and then form a band to pursue which ever instrument they like the best.

accredited courses

Although accreditation isn't for everyone, it can be a good way of recognising acheivement for students and can schools can use the performance points for their overall results.
On our longer courses we have delivered Rockschool performance grades upto grade 8 and Rockschool Live performance and rehearsal skills at level 1 and 2

a hands on practical way

We believe the key to learning theory is by applying it directly to playing as quickly as possible. Our tutors are all skilled performers in their own right and have experience in braking down their skills and experience to help learners reach their goals while avoiding pitfalls and speed up their progress towards being competent performers.

professional musicians

Our tutors are multi instrumentalists and have acheived at least Grade 8 on their instrument and can play and teach the other instruments to a high standard, this enables them to teach all the instruments in a contemporary rock band: Guitar Drums keys and bass. We only employ tutors with great interpersonal skills, who really care about the clients and the quality of what they deliver. Our tutors are CRB checked and have real music experience in the music industry.
