Come and do it! Don't think about it! Justdo it and it will be the best two weeks ofyour life. Come with an open mind and

enjoy the phenomenal experience!Brian Moloney, Sutton, Dublin.

I realised that I am more capable than Ithought - I can write lyrics and naturally

pick up things quickly. I would adviseanyone to just DO IT! - it’s fun, hard work

and it really improves you on yourinstrument and teaches you new skills

Emer Doyle, Raheny, Dublin.

Do it! It rocks" ...this is my fourth time todo the Rockschool Camp and I love it!

Fintan Moore, Athy, Co. Kildare.

Brilliant! I would recommend it to anyoneinterested in music. The best part for me

was listening back to the songs werecorded and going "Was that me?"

CAMP FAQ I have never been in a band before is that a problem? Absolutely not. We form groups on the first day of camp based on your musical preferences as described by you in the application form. Most students will not have band experience and we cater for all levels – beginners to advanced. Students will be invited to telephone facetime/skype or call to Rockschool in advance of Camp so that we may place you in the most appropriate group.

I don’t know anybody doing the Camp, will everyone else know each other? Don’t worry! Most people doing the Camp will be first timers and won’t know others, particularly if it’s a beginner to intermediate Course. Students make great friends during the camp. The whole point of the FK Rockschool Camp is to encourage your talent in whatever form it may take. Many students cite “recording” as one of the highlights of their camp experience.

I’m not sure I’m good enough, how will I know if I’m ready for Camp? First of all, we talk with you over the telephone and if you live locally, invite you down to the Studio to have a chat and see where you are at with your instrument. But don’t worry, it’s not an audition! Some students only have a basic knowledge of their instrument and that’s often enough for the beginner’s group on our camp. But you do need to be able to play some basic chords especially powerchords and for drummers, hold down a simple drumbeat. We won’t offer you a place unless we are confident the camp is the right choice for you so please call us to arrange a chat and or visit.

What gear do I need to bring with me? Drummers bring sticks and a snare drum plus crash cymbal. For guitar and bass, bring amp, guitar, lead strap, spare strings, effects if you have them and tuner.

I want to learn more about producing and engineering – will I be allowed to use the professional equipment? Absolutely Yes

What famous people have done your Camps? A quick sample: Philip Magee The Script and Kodaline producer Keeley Moss Musician DJ Kormac musican and producer We have also had one couple get married through meeting on one of our camps!

Your camp is more expensive than other Rock Camps why is that? Our camps are the original Irish Rockschool camps in operation since 1991 and while we are flattered that many people have tried copying us there remains an issue with some people confusing The Frank Kearns Rockschool with other “Rockschools”, Frank invented and developed it to the unique opportunity for young musicians it is today. We are the only Summer Rockschool camp to take place in a professional recording studio with one on one tutoring and huge programme of exciting workshops and activities (see web site). Typically people report to us that their other experiences in less professional ‘rock camps’ involve jamming with musically mismatched people in noisy church halls, inexperienced Tutors, clueless organisers, no pro recording equipment and bad knock offs of our workshops - JUST SAY NO TO IMITATIONS!!

Can we pay by credit or Debit card? Yes

Will I be asked to play in front of people? Not unless you want to! The FK Rockschool is about being free to express your self through Rock Music. No pressure is exerted to conform to any formulaic way of doing things.

Are there any girl students going on this Camp? Yes we have male and female young musicians on all our camps.

I am a guitarist but would like to try out other instruments such as Drums and bass is that possible? Yes our tutors will be glad to facilitate you.

How many people attend your camp? To facilitate each student and ensure he or she has the best experience we only take small numbers of passionate rockers. We can facilitate up to 18 people and mostly there are four groups formed during the camp. There generally is a three to one ratio of tutors to student.

Do you arrange accommodation for duration of the camp? No but we can put you in touch with families used to hosting students or suggest hotels locally.

Anyquestions?:0872765754(+353-87-2765754)
