Epsom’s popular music school will be rocking this month with an exciting range of activities for aspiring musicians.

The Realistic Rock Academy returns to the borough with a fresh new format.

Surrey’s premiere youth music school is offering the opportunity for young musicians to participate in a five day intensive course, Studio Tube, in which they will be able to develop their skills in rock music, band, songwriting and live performance for guitar, bass, drums and vocals.

It will end with bands recording their own compositions and shooting a music video to upload to the internet.

During the week, the Academy will also be offering a crash course in foundation guitar and drums for beginners.

Students will then be invited to play live in a Realistic Rock Summer Showcase, at a later date, at the Epsom Playhouse.
