Up-Beat Rock Academy

My son Luca started out playing guitar at the age of 10. He enjoyed his private guitar lessons at home but he didnt really have a goal, and this can make kids give up. My friend told me about upbeat and Luca hasnt looked back since. Hes played some amazing venues from the Blackpool illuminations switch on at age just 11 with the brilliant Aftershock, to regularly playing as a support act with his band Parrilla at the amazing Waterloo pub Blackpool. Getting Luca to band is never a chore as he loves every minute spent at upbeat, and not just for the music but the friends hes made for life there. I highly recommend Upbeat and just wish there had been something like this when I was a kid

Ian has created a brilliant space to train and or for bands to rehearse music. Well laid out with numerous playing and rehearsal rooms.

My two children both study here and it has been a lifesaver in so many ways. The performance side has lifted their confidence after Covid and one of them has been inspired to pursue music academically/as a career. Most of all, they love it!

Since my son joined upbeat 18 months ago when he was 7, he has now become the lead singer of a kids band within the academy and had some very good opportunities presented to him through Ian the owner. They really try to bring the kids on and Lennon and Will are fantastic teachers. In my opinion Upbeat really does rock!
