Earn a Scholarship to Attend Rockford’s Rock n Roll Institute

Are you a beginning musician who's dreamed of putting a band together? Then, how to take it from the basement to the stage? The answer The Rock n Roll Institute.

As Rockford's Rock n Roll Institute says on their website,

A certain infamous Rock and Roll band once proclaimed “Its a long way to the top if you wanna Rock n Roll” Well lo and behold those Aussie chaps were correct.

The R n R Institute's instructors will asses your level of playing when camp starts and will match you bandmates. Nowhere else does an opportunity to 'start a band on Monday and play a show on Friday.'

The instruction comes via some of the most talented musicians in the area. Stu Johnson, Mickey Rosenquist, Tony Chrisman and Kevin Schwitters will teach guitar, bass, drums and piano/keyboards.

While it really is a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll, you'll be so much closer to fulfilling some of those 'on stage dreams' after attending this week-long camp.
