On Friday 12 June Learn to Rock will be presenting their annual interactive demonstration of Instruments and Vocals at Burley Oaks Primary School in Ilkley.

The objective of the demonstration is to show pupils what can be learnt with Learn to Rock and how we learn.

Staff and students (Year 2 to Post 16) at Learn to Rock will participate in the demonstration so that pupils at Burley Oaks can see exactly what can be achieved.

The instruments that will be demonstrated will include:  Vocals, Keyboard, Piano, Electric, Bass and Classical Guitars, Drums and Vocals.

Pupils will then have the opportunity to sign up for lessons at Burley Oaks for September.

Follow up letters and application forms will be sent home with pupils at the end of the day.
