Platform One College of Music’ Saturday Rock School is back, offering opportunities for instrumental and vocal development, rehearsals and performance skills for young people aged 11 to 16 across the Isle of Wight.
Students need to sing or play guitar, bass and drums. There are different groups to match ability – offering different levels and progression through the programme.
Tutors are amazing role models and incredible musicians – all graduates from Platform One’s very own BA (Hons) Commercial Music degree, which runs in partnership with University of Chichester. Tutors also have an abundance of industry experience.
David Pontin, one of the directors of Platform One, says:
‘The Saturday programme offers a brilliant and fun opportunity to develop self-confidence, communication skills, self-esteem, team-work and musical creativity”.
Students have weekly specialist instrumental lessons and are put into bands through performance workshops in order to develop a diverse range of musical repertoire. At the end of each block students get the opportunity to perform in a professional music venue to a public audience.
Sessions are in 2-hour block, costing £240 for the academic year – can be paid in two instalments. All equipment is provided in Platform One’s very own specialist facility, which is based in Newport.
Students just need to bring guitar, bass, drumsticks, tuners, microphone, lead – everything else is provided.
A new programme starts with induction sessions on Saturday 2nd October 2021.
