Budding young rock stars are being offered what could be the first steps of a chart-topping career when a new music school is launched.

The Rock Project will open its doors on Wednesday, September 9 at Nower Hill High School in George V Avenue, Pinner.

The weekly school will offer its students the chance to train with a group of professional musicians and aims to help students develop their talents on electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals.

The Rock Project in Pinner is part of the UK’s leading school for contemporary music tuition and is led by former accountant Pritpal Chitroda.

Earlier this year, Ms Chitroda launched The Rock Project in neighbouring Ickenham and is already seeing the benefits it brings to the young people there.

She said: “As a mother I know how music and the ability to play an instrument or to sing builds confidence in young people.

“The Rock Project stimulates the imagination and creativity of young people. It helps them develop not only their musical abilities but also their personalities.

“I think they are inspired by the opportunity and it helps build their confidence to get up and perform in front of an audience, which is a great opportunity for them.”

The sessions will be divided into a juniors, for seven to 11-year-olds, from 4.15pm to 6.15pm, and seniors, for 11 to 18-year-olds, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

All instruments are supplied.
