Thomas Goss's School of Rock is a rock music program, trialled in San Francisco, California in the early 1990s. It is now a nationwide organization in New Zealand, growing immensely since its formation in 2005. It helps children aged 11–17 learn about rock music, how to be part of a band, and how to successfully turn that "garage band" into a working, successful band. The School of Rock is currently running in Wellington and there is also the Auckland School of Rock, a programme run by a team of professional musicians. The school regularly accepts vocalists, guitarists, bassists, drummers and Keyboardists, while other instruments, such as saxophones, may be auditioned as necessary and contacts kept for needed circumstances. == Program == In most cases bands are created from individual sign-ups. In some cases entire or partial bands sign up, looking for instruction and help obtaining new members. Students are encouraged, and eventually expected, to begin or continue to have private tuition for their chosen instruments. Quoted from the school's website: "The School of Rock teaches young musicians how to be in a band. Rockers-in-training learn important life skills - like how to work together, improvise, prepare new material, and perform in front of an audience - all while learning classic and modern rock that will make them better musicians. It's a great way to meet other young people interested in rock music, and to learn how to jam in a structured environment." The term time program is intended to be taken over three years, with attempts to get the bands who are graduating their third year signed to established New Zealand music labels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Goss's School of Rock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
