Where creativity and confidence unlock a passion for music potential
Children choose their own band name and learn a popular rock or pop song that has been expertly adapted to suit their age group. Throughout the iRock sessions, their creativity and confidence are unleashed whilst collaborating as a group, culminating in an unforgettable end-of-term performance.
Children in Year 2, Year 4 and Year 6 are automatically enrolled to achieve an RSL award in Group Performance (Music). Available at three levels, this exam-free route to an additional qualification is assessed during iRock lessons. In 2024, 99% of eligible children achieved their RSL award.
Learn in a positive, stress-free environment
At iRock School of Music, we emphasise teamwork, collaboration, and listening, while enhancing confidence, social skills, and positive mental health. Through teamwork and fostering an environment where children can take creative risks, they grow more resilient and confident in performing and speaking, all while developing a passion for music.
The iRock programme has been designed to be totally inclusive for every child, regardless of their experience, ability, or learning style.
