BIMM Bristol Music College Summer Schools
Posted on: 15 Jul 2014BIMM Bristol Music College will be running two summer schools in August for musicians of all ages looking to develop their technique, confidence or just to have some fun.
The summer schools are open to guitarists, singers, bassists and drummers over the age of 11, so long as they are not absolute beginners at their instrument. For anyone looking to make their way in the world of music, this is a brilliant way to spend the summer break.
Two different performance courses will run – the Music Performance Summer School powered by Marshall caters to all the metalheads out there, while the Music Performance Summer School powered by Music Radar is more tailored toward those who love classic rock. Both consist of a five day week and include a live performance workshop every day, dedicated tuition for your instrument and a different special guest each day. On the last day a performance will be held for friends and family, where ‘graduates’ can show off their favourite track of the week in their newly formed bands.
The Music Performance Summer School powered by Marshall will see participants learning tracks by Metal, Punk and Hard Rock artists like Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Skindred, Killswitch Engage and Architects. The guests featured will also be high-fliers in this field, with past guests including Mikee Goodman (SikTh), Massimo Fiocco (One Minute Silence), Mikey Demus and Arya Goggin (Skindred) and Neil Cooper (Therapy?) This course runs from Monday 18th August to Friday 22nd August.
During the Music Performance Summer School powered by Music Radar, students will learn songs by artists like The Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Foo Fighters and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They will also receive expert tuition from BIMM tutors including Damon Minchella (Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller, The Who), James Hester (Malakai), Kieron Pepper (The Prodigy), Martin Wright (Slash/Ronnie Wood) and Elliot May (Basement Jaxx). This course takes place from Monday 4th August to Friday 8th August.
Each summer school is great value for money and an invaluable opportunity for any keen musician, costing just £299 for all five days. To book a place at this year’s school visit http://www.bimm.co.uk/brighton/summer-schools#book
