Calling all wannabe rock stars!

Platform One College of Music's Saturday Rock School is offering opportunities for young people across the Island aged 11 to 16 years old.

The programme offers levels and progression and has different groups to match musical ability.

The tutors, all graduates from Platform One’s BA (Hons) commercial music degree, have an abundance of knowledge to share with the young aspiring musicians.

David Pontin, one of the Platform One directors, said: "The Saturday programme offers a brilliant and fun opportunity to develop self-confidence, communication skills, self-esteem, teamwork and musical creativity."

Students have weekly specialist instrumental lessons and will be put into bands through performance workshops. At the end of each block, students will perform to a public audience.

A new programme starts with induction sessions on Saturday.
