iRock School of Music
At Ashcombe Primary we also offer weekly group music lessons with iRock. At iRock, children experience the thrill of being in a band! Led by passionate and professional Band Coaches, the weekly in-school band sessions are open to all pupils from age 4-11.
Music for all.
iRock aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels they belong. Each week, children develop their musical skills, confidence, and teamwork as they work towards exam-free music qualifications - celebrating progress without the pressure of formal exams.
Feel like a Rockstar!
The excitement culminates every term in a live concert where children perform as a band for their families and peers. These performances are more than just a showcase - they’re an opportunity for children to build self-esteem, enhance their confidence, and experience the joy of accomplishment.
iRock isn’t just about music; it’s about helping children thrive cognitively, socially, and academically through the power of music.
