On 4th July, RSL shared with us a musical celebration like no other: Rockschool’s Guitar Bass & Drums 2024 live launch event, held at the iconic Abbey Road Studios. The event took place in the world-famous Studio 3, where countless legendary recordings have been made by the likes of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Fela Kuti, Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse, Frank Ocean, and Bruno Mars to name just a few. This time, the spotlight was on Rockschool’s new line-up: Guitar, Bass, and Drums, marking the launch of Rockschool #GBD24.
The event featured the new Hit Tunes and Rockschool Originals, majority of which have been arranged and composed by RSL’s Jono Harrison, with musicians Nathan Theodolou (guitar), Tommy Webb (guitar), Sophie Alloway (drums), Geoff Gascoyne (bass), and Grace Walker (vocals) showcasing the exceptional talent and creativity of the musicians who have contributed to the syllabus.
Insightful Interviews and Discussions
In addition to the performances, the event offered a rare glimpse behind the scenes. Interviews with the musicians who recorded the syllabus and surrounding materials provided invaluable insights into their creative processes and experiences. These conversations highlighted the dedication and passion that have gone into crafting the new syllabus.
The event also included in-depth discussions on the innovative features included in Rockschool #GBD24. From cutting-edge educational tools to unique musical arrangements, the new syllabus is designed to inspire and challenge students of all levels.
The Legacy of Abbey Road
Hosting the event at Abbey Road Studios added a layer of historical significance. Studio 3, in particular, has been the birthplace of many groundbreaking recordings.
