Rock & Roll Boot Camp
Rock & Roll Boot Camp is the ultimate opportunity for 8-16 year-old musicians to spend a week forming bands and producing tracks at The Rhythm Studio’s incredible music facilities, then showcase their skills at one of London’s top music venues. Band sessions offer the chance to meet like-minded musicians, learn your favourite songs and play live at Pizza Express Live Jazz Club in the West End. Beat camp allows young producers to create a library of beats of different styles using Logic Pro X, from Trap to Hip Hop, via Boom Bap and EDM.

Do I need to play an instrument? Yes, unless you are a singer or only joining a production course.
How much experience do I need? Boot campers need at least 1 year of tuition on their instrument before the course to ensure that they are ready to play in a band.
