If someone close to you is dreaming of rock superstardom this Xmas, this fab gift idea might just the ticket! The performance-based music school offers one-on-one lessons, as well as band programmes to suit all ages and abilities. Located in Blackrock, School Of Rock Dublin has teachers for guitar, keys, drums, vocals and bass guitar, while they also offer gift cards starting at €50. They foster a love of music in their students, gearing them towards playing on a real life stage. Elsewhere, Rock 101 is one of the School of Rock’ top programmes for kids and hopeful musicians. Students have one weekly group rehearsal, where they learn to play classic rock songs that have been simplified for beginners. Definitely one for the budding Bowies, Jaggers and Taylor Swifts out there!
