Up-Beat Rock Academy has been running for 4 years with Ian Hooper at the helm. Ian is an accomplished musician who has toured and performed for many years and has taught privately for 10 years. The academy has 4 more professional musicians teaching classes and is always on the lookout for new teachers to join our Academy. There are 4 studios that cover private lessons and band sessions. The academy offers private lessons to take students through their Rock Grades as an option. Our band sessions take our musicians on a journey of learning dynamics of working with and listening to others. We give all the bands a platform via Rock Lowther to perform twice a year. All our bands gig on a regular basis and grow in confidence as individuals as well as a band. The bands vary from pop and rock.
