Rock 'n' Roll - Write a text (100-150 words)

Rock ’n’ Roll
So you want to be a rock ’n’ roll star? Until recently, there was not much studying you could do to fulfill this ambition. Rock stars of the past relied on raw talent, hard work and a lot of luck; even the members of the Beatles had no formal education in music.
But now, throughout the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, aspiring young musicians can attend rock ’n’ roll schools. Most are designed for the 8 to 18 age group, and offer lessons on playing guitar, drums and keyboard instruments, as well as singing. Classes are sometimes also given on rock history, musical composition and song-writing.
Some programmes train students in performance-related skills such as sound and lighting and stage presence: how to develop self-confidence and deal with stage fright. Students may also find out about group dynamics and what to do with group members whose egos get too big. Sometimes students also learn about logo and brand names, and may pass out autographed photos of themselves to “fans” after a performance.
For those who cannot find a local programme, summer camps devoted to rock music are also available. Here, counsellors accompany students to lessons, rehearsals and jam sessions, as well as to music shops and recording studios. Participants may also attend performances in local bars, and meetings are arranged with famous local musicians. From them, campers find out not only about technique, but also about the realities of life in the music business, and how to make it a career.
However, not everyone wants hands-on instruction. People who prefer a more academic approach can choose from classes available in various locales on rock ’n’ roll related subjects. Even people with no musical talent may enjoy learning about the evolution of the genre, girl groups or the rise of Motown, for example.

So whether your interest in music is theoretical or practical, there is now somewhere for you to study. Who knows where the next rock and roll sensation may be learning right now?

  1. This type of academies help to many people everyday, because one person can love to the music but if this person hasn't got any studio, this person never will can be a "rock and roll's" star. I ,for instance, have been played a guitar middle year and I have never needed lessons of guitar because I don't want to be a star, I am amateur of guitar music. Many people wish to live of the music, so this type of people need particularly lessons or academies where they can learn to play other instruments, lessons of the art of music... These academies must be organised by great masters of music or music lovers that they have many studios of music. Moreover, it's very good that the academies increase knowledge because these people, in the future, will can be musicians, teachers or work in other jobs related to music.

  2. Learning music is something exciting and a little bit difficult, so if you can learn music you have to go to an academy that you are sure that this is the most adequate for you. Maybe there are people who want learn music in a practical way and other people want learn music in a theorical way.
    However, you can think that is difficult to find an adequate academy for you, but this is not true, nowadays are a lot of academies which can help you to learn music in the way that you prefer.
    In conclusion, if you want to learn music, now you don’t have to depend on the luck, you can go an academy of music where you will learn music and you will be able to have a lot of performances.

  3. Not because you like the music you want to be a musician, it could also be a hobby for you. Nowadays to be able to learn to play some instrument you have to go to an academy and there they give you lessons to be a professional and to devote yourself to it, but now there are academies that teach you to learn music - classes given by teachers – in the way that you want. They teach you to see the music not alone as a job, even as slightly more. I think that this type of academies have to becoming not alone for the music but for all kinds of jobs, since one can study a career and devote to her but feel attraction towards another type of things, not to exercise them, only as hobbies.

  5. Music world has always been difficult in many aspects. Even today, it is really difficult to get into it despite the fact that it has occurred a breath-taking cultural change in our minds.
    Although fame and music have always seamed one of the most desired goals , they were also really problematic to the ones who were into them. And this problem goes back to the society culture and education, which throughout history, has demonstrated that the people were not always prepared to assume what music and it’s world involve.
    Nowadays, as it is said in this text, cultural awareness it’s been raised and people are increasingly convinced that music-related degrees are as worthy as any other one. Thanks to the confidence that the aforementioned happening gives to the educational world, it will be possible to witness an increasing of all this schools and learning communities dedicated to the promotion of music and it’s culture.

  6. There are many people in the world interested in the music world, so realize that dream is very complicated if you want it to be internationally. In addition, many people are signed up to such classes as children, not by choice, causing the lost passion for music.
    But, not all people can pay an academy or classes for learn, or not have a level to ingress in, what can they do for continue doing music? Today, many people watch tutorials in internet and are also very favorable for those interested in it.
    If I think about my past, I learned to play guitar without going to any academy, only with the help of my father.
    Finally, the music should be practiced because you like and do your passion, not the money you can win if you run away or people you will ever meet.
