About Our RockJam Workshops

Did you know that playing music in a band can support confidence, wellbeing and social development?

Playing music with others can encourage teamwork, self-expression, discipline and confidence, while helping young musicians feel part of a group.

Joining a band can also give children and young people a sense of structure and achievement and encourage them to develop their musical interests.

Who Can Join RockJam?

 

🎸 Ages 8–17 | Grouped by Age & Experience🎀

 

🎢 All instruments welcome!

πŸŽ“ For most students aged 11 to 17, some experience on their chosen instrument is required before joining a group.

πŸ‘§ For younger students aged 8 to 10, beginners are welcome to try piano, drums or vocals. No prior experience is required. Confidence, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are key!

🎸 Guitar players of all ages should already have a basic understanding of chords and simple strumming before joining a band.

Why We Love RockJam 🎸

So, why not encourage your child to join a band today?

These are one hour after school live music group workshops where children play pop/rock songs in a band format.

Our Tutors help children learn how to play together in a band, focusing on one or two songs each term, with regular opportunities to perform at HHMS concerts in front of family and friends. We have seen children who may initially be shy develop greater confidence and enjoyment of making music through taking part in RockJam.

We organise groups according to age, musical ability and instrumentation to create balanced bands.

The RockJam experience: Why It Works?

RockJam offers something special. It’s more than just playing an instrument, it’s about learning to play with others. Our students grow in confidence, develop real musical skills, and have a brilliant time doing it.

At RockJam, your child will:

Rehearse in real bands with students of a similar age and ability.

Work on popular songs chosen to challenge and excite

Build musical communication and teamwork

Perform live at HHMS concerts

Enjoy the buzz of creating something together

We support every student at their own pace, whether they’re beginners or already confident performers. smile

πŸ“Έ RockJam in Action

This is what RockJam looks like in real life, bands made up of our brilliant students, giving it their all on stage.

You’ll see proud moments, big focus, and a whole lot of fun.

These photos capture the energy and excitement we see every week at HHMS. Real bands, real music, real progress.

My kids are attending Rock Jam at Hayto Music School with Harvey, and I couldn’t be happier! They have created a positive and inspiring environment where the kids are having fun while learning how to play in a rock band. We love the show at the end of each term; it really shows how much they improve in confidence on stage and in their instrumental techniques.

Rock Jam is a brilliant experience for young people who want to rock on and be in a band. Guitars, drums, sax, flute, you name it, you can play it. The teachers rock and while I did have to convince my daughter that it would be fun, she came out beaming. Well done Rock Jam… high recs all around.

My son has had a great time being part of the rock band and individual lessons that the music school have set up for him. The school is well organised, the teachers are knowledgeable, kind and encouraging and the results are excellent. Thank you to James and the team.
