Rocksteady Music School offers a whole new progressive style of musical qualifications for elementary-age children from all walks of life. The new qualification regulated by Ofqual is to observe skills as they are performed in courses and unlock the qualification using technology once a threshold number of skills has been observed. .

Mark Robinson, Founder of Rocksteady comments: “Rocksteady’s innovative teaching methods make earning a music degree more accessible and inclusive. Kids can focus on learning, having fun, and engaging in a positive way while being fully supported by Rocksteady’s technology, systems, and processes.
“For some children, the pressure surrounding traditional exams can be a significant barrier to both learning and enjoyment. Our new progressive method, awarded by Trinity College London, enables more children to graduate in music. It opens up music to a new generation of children who can enjoy learning and developing without fear of failure.“
Nik Preston – group director at Trinity College London, adds:
“With the advancements in modern music education in a band continuing at a steady pace, and with forward-thinking providers such as Rocksteady ensuring increased opportunities in a diverse section of the school district, Trinity is delighted to have developed this new qualification designed to support inclusive learning and group skills development.

In addition, 79% of parents would like their child to play a musical instrument.
Robinson adds: “We know how important music is to kids, last year 90% of parents told us Rocksteady classes support their children’s well-being and help them adjust to normal school life , so it is more important than ever that we do music education. work for every child.
