Through the provision of music sessions, students will learn to work within a group setting to reach set targets. Session structure will be underpinned by a focus on social interaction, confidence building and communication. The sessions will offer music to suit the various needs of the groups. Here at RocksCool Academy we have a saying,"It's More Than Music"being part of RocksCool Academy is more than just learning to play in a band,it's about personal development,self esteem,working in a team and building on transferable skills.
Over the past 18 months we have worked with a number of partners including Creative Partnerships on programmes to help develop personal development with great success.In 2008 & 2009 we have worked closely with Northumberland County Council's Extended Services Division,working with 50 schools in the region, on our RocksCool project to young people aged between 11 -18 on the transition from secondary to high school and encouraging self development to great success.We continue working in partnership with Extended Services across the region in 2009.
