Rockschool. The Original.
The original fire keeps beating on! In the UK, in 1991, Rockschool became the original way to study and gain a qualification in rock, pop and contemporary music. Now, we do that in over 60 countries across the globe. Our Guitar, Bass & Drums syllabus started it all. We’ve just launched our biggest update yet, and it’s packed full of amazing music and innovative features.
