The Wire

Gone are the days of forced instrument lessons and bribing kids to be active outside of school. There’s an extra curricular activity rising in popularity and dragging kids out of their teenage dens of computers, ipads and consoles into a more creative non cyber space.

Rock School isn’t a new phenomenon, but its recent rise in popularity is not to be ignored. High Voltage Rock School in Melbourne has seen a steady increase in students over the past few years, and have even had an alumni band feature as a finalist in Triple J’s Unearthed competition last year.Its no wonder kids are lining up to be the next big thing.
