Epsom is lucky enough to have its very own 'school of rock' based in East Street, and now Realistic Music Academy is spreading its wings and offering to teach band skills on ukulele, percussion and vocals as well as guitar and drums. And this Saturday (20 September) there is a chance to check out the facilities, talk to the tutors and take part in a free trial session at the Academy's Open Day in East Street, Epsom.

Brand new this term, the Academy has extended its curriculum to accommodate 5 -7 year olds with the introductory band workshop 'Kids Rock' where wannabe rock stars can develop their band skills on ukulele, percussion and vocals. Flagship band workshops 'Rockband' for teenagers and 'Remastered' for adults will also make a welcome return with all courses culminating in a live performance at a special Christmas Showcase at Epsom Playhouse.

With the new term starting, Realistic Music Academy has a fun packed programme of music tuition on offer. Whether looking for private tuition or to develop band skills and meet like minded musicians, the Academy offers a wide range of services for all ages and abilities.
