Quotes from Article:
“And so it goes that not all rock Musicians have to be self-made;
you can get a little help from those who’ve gone before you.
By giving anyone and everyone to pick up a rock instrument at their own
leisure, the teachers of accent de music (AdM ) are doing their part to pass
on the torch to what could possibly be the next generation of
home grown acts. Live gigging might not be for everyone, but by Atta’s
reckoning, a number of his students are more than up to holding
their own on a ‘Live’ stage. As it currently stands, a handful of them - including
more than a few girls and women - have gone on to form their
own bands to perform at various gig venues”
“Not just another brick
on the wall”
Quotes from Article:
“Judging by the number and variety of budding rockers that passed through
the doors of accent de music on the days that we were there, rock is very
much alive and well round these parts. And if Atta and his team have anything
to do with it, it’ll continue to stay that way for time to come. So if you’ve ever
nursed a secret rock star ambition, and Guitar Hero just isn’t doing it for you anymore
......... there’s hope yet.”
“Never a boring lesson”
Quotes from Article:
“Gig nights are organized once or twice every year. Such occasions
as the schools annual dinner and dance parties, give students the kind
of exposure that no one gets from class room lessons alone. And every
single student is encouraged by their teachers to form a group with other,
and perform at every opportunity they can. “as long as you know how to
a simple beat, we’ll let you play. Basically, it’s about enjoying themselves
and getting the exposure to playing in front of people rather than just playing
in front of me.” says Atta”
