The School of Rock / Bedford staff is excited to announce the themes for our signature Rock Performance Program for the Summer 2014 season! With THREE different shows, we have the right program to get any kid rocking on a local stage by the start of next school year. We are now enrolling students age 7-18 on guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals!!! 

In our ROCK PERFORMANCE PROGRAM, students get the chance to take a weekly 45-minute private lesson with a rock star on our staff, attend a weekly group rehearsal session with other young musicians, and get ready to perform two season-ending shows! Our program gives kids the chance to rock on stage and in life.

ABOUT: COLDPLAY are a British rock band formed in 1986. Heavily influenced by U2 they share similar guitar effect work, an enthusiastic front man & pop song structure. The group achieved worldwide fame with the release of their single "Yellow." The band has won a number of music awards throughout their career including eight Brit-Awards, winning Best British Group three times, five MTV Music Awards, and seven Grammy Awards from 25 nominations. Coldplay has sold more than 70 million records worldwide. 
 
U2 formed in 1976. In their career they have released 13 albums and won 90 major awards. U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's inventive guitar sound and Bono's expressive vocals. 
 
This show is GREAT for all ages and levels and ability. Guitarists will explore exciting sound effects and riffs, piano students will become masters of the arpeggio, and vocalists will shine and be challenged by the diversity and range of Bono and Chris Martin. As always, a tight rhythm is necessary to make this show ROCK!
