Rocks ‘n’ Pops
Hosted by Mr Simeon Haslam
07403744801
simhaslam91@hotmail.com
Rocks ‘n’ Pops have provided tuition and run rock bands at Lord Deramore’s Primary School for several years. In York, we now tutor over 300 children on rock instruments in primary schools each week and run 32 bands from 13 schools.
We teach vocals, keys , drums, guitar & bass each week, usually in 2 group sessions of 30 minutes for non-band members, and in 2 group sessions of 20 minutes for band members. We do teach from Rock School graded materials, but primarily focus on learning the songs children want to sing and play from the radio or TV. Those children who are also in a band, immediately apply what they have learned in lessons at their weekly band practice.
We run a range of concerts inside and outside school and are asked to provide children’s bands for concerts organised by external bodies. When bands reach year 6, they also do a studio recording. These performance opportunities give children goals to work towards and some very special memories and achievements. Bands usually receive 2-3 concerts per term for Autumn and Spring terms and can choose from around 20 concerts in the Summer term including some larger festivals and venues.
Classical Guitar
