We Will Rock You Project provides exciting and accessible music tuition for young people across Manchester, offering a mix of 1-to-1 lessons, small group instrument and vocal tuition, weekly band sessions, school music clubs, and workshops.
Our sessions give students the opportunity to learn popular songs while developing the essential skills of performing together as a band. Pupils learn on a range of instruments including electric guitar, bass, keyboards, acoustic guitar, drums, vocals and percussion, building confidence, creativity and teamwork through real music-making.
We support elements of the Key Stage 2, 3 and 4 music curriculum, helping bridge the gap from primary school to secondary school while supporting students working towards Rockschool graded exams, GCSE Music and beyond.
Alongside our regular lessons, we run evening and weekend band sessions, school clubs, workshops and masterclasses with experienced UK music industry professionals, helping young musicians take their skills to the next level.

Our full class music sessions are very well received by every one of our pupils (and teachers!) from Reception to Year 6. The project Chris runs not only includes every member of the class, but also supports pupils to work as a team while teaching the fundamentals of crafting and playing a song. The songs in the programme are all current popular songs, often suggested by the pupils themselves. There is always a real sparkle to the lessons and the end of half-term showcases give the pupils a platform to perform in front of their parents and peers, helping build confidence and a sense of achievement. I think what I love most about the lessons though, is the way they give different pupils a chance to shine, often not the ones you would expect. Music, songwriting and performing have made a genuine difference to some of our pupils' lives, and have impacted positively on their engagement, achievement and well-being in general.

We have taken part in weekly We Will Rock You sessions for many years now. The children love the sessions and get such a buzz from being able to play collaboratively as a whole class. The musicians help to organise performances throughout the year which is a great way to showcase what the children have learnt and a lovely opportunity for their parents and the other year groups to watch them. The sessions cover a range of musical elements such as playing instruments, singing, reading music and performing, and the children get so much out of it.

The music sessions at Peel Hall Primary Academy are a highlight for the children. Each week the pupils look forward to their lessons and engage with such enthusiasm. It’s wonderful to see their excitement as they explore new sounds and skills. Parents have also shared how much their children talk about and enjoy these lessons at home. These sessions are not just teaching music - they’re inspiring creativity, confidence and a love of learning throughout the school.

We invited 2 members of the team from ‘We Will Rock You Project’ to come and teach us about band performance and arrangement. The Year 10 class had great fun in a lesson which is directly to do with the ensemble performance of their GCSE. The project’s team have got a vast experience in the music industry, having working in the industry and been performers on popular hits. Their main passion is composing songs, many of which are used by other musicians and some of which are used on adverts. They taught us how to perform Slade’s ‘I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday’ to get us into the festive spirit! This invaluable experience with professional musicians has given us lots of ideas for our ensemble GCSE performances, as well as for our solo compositions. The session was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we cannot wait to have them back!

We Will Rock You have ran courses at Terra Nova School for the last 5 years. They are extremely popular with both pupils and parents and the courses are booked up within a few days of their release date. The progress the pupils make over the term is staggering. I have attended the last two end of term concerts and was bowled over watching pupils I know and teach perform beyond my expectations. Confident, happy faces shone from the stage as the last chord was struck!
