READY TO ROCK SCHOOL is run by top rock vocalist, Mark Thompson-Smith B.E.M.

Former vocalist of FLIGHT 19, PRAYING MANTIS,​ THE SWEET & BIG LIFE, and current front man for THE LEATHER & LACE ROCK SHOW,  Mark leads the excellent Ready To Rock tutor team in our South Hampshire locations, providing students, from the age of 8 years upwards to senior adults, with lessons in guitar, bass and drums preparing them for the full on rock band experience!! 

The Ready To Rock team are selected not only for their obvious passion for music but for their excellent abilities to pass that on to our students and rapidly build the rapport that is needed to teach them, not only how to play their instruments but also how to interact with their Ready To Rock School  bandmates. 

​
From the initial learning of the notes, chords, scales, beats and rhythms, our DBS checked tutors transfer their excitement for all things musical, to our students preparing them fully for the jam songs we play during the lessons, through to full band preparation for the regular charity and Ready To Rock School nights throughout the year.

It's an exciting place to be, a place to make new friends, to gain confidence, to LEARN, to PLAY and to ACHIEVE your ambitions to be a young or 'mature 'rock star.

For those that also want to gain the tick in the box for grades, alongside the Ready To Rock School sessions, for a fuller academic experience and the bonus of UCAS points, we recommend ROCKSCHOOL courses for additional self study and can recommend alternative external tutors for 1 to 1 RSL based tuition. That said, our tutors are more than happy to help out on the above e.g. with final preparation for the ROCKSCHOOL grading exams, so bring your books in and we'll add that little extra help to get you across the line!
