Guitar, bass, drums and keyboards lessons at the Number 1 Pop and Rock Music School in the UK and Ireland. Now in Belfast and Dundonald!!

If you are looking for lessons in guitar, bass, drums or keyboards, in the greater Belfast and Dundonald areas this is the place to do it!!

The two Music Schools, owned and operated by David Irvine, opened last October, one in Dundonald and one on the Belmont Road, Belfast, under the Franchise name ‘Clive’s Easylearn Rock and Pop Schools’ which has recently won the 2007 BFA Franchise of The Year Award for Enterprise.

Offering a unique brand of simplified pop and rock music training in guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums with the weekly sessions also enabling customers to experience the fun of “jamming” together in pop and rock bands right from the very start of their courses. Classes are available for juniors aged 7 to 9 and seniors from 10 upwards. The Belfast sessions run on a Tuesday evening at Belmont Tower ont the Belmont Road, Belfast and the Dundonald sessions run on Monday evenings, at the Ballyoran Centre, Dundonald. There are also plans to start an ‘Adults Only’ hour in response to the cagey enquiries by big children who don’t want the wee children showing them up!!

So what are these 'Easylearn' lessons in guitar, bass, drums and keyboards? Well, the unique Easylearn Courses do away with boring theory and make music-making simple, fun and direct. Customers love them because they’re easy to understand – and over the last two and a half decades they’ve proved themselves with over 8000 people having gone through the courses.

The schools are also creating considerable excitement within the area’s community of musicians, with the unique offer of unusual and rewarding part-time jobs for locally talented people who want to train to become tutors at the new music school.

We also try to put something back into the community, and every six months or so our pupils get the opportunity to put on a special live event, where they can put all their hard work into practice. We have already held two live events this year in the Ballyoran Centre, Dundonald, and more recently , on June 6th at the Stormont Hotel, the pupils performed a major Live Event, on a big stage with lights, smoke machines and lasers in front of nearly 300 people! The pupils (and parents!) had a great time and they are already looking forward to preparing for the next live event which should be around Christmas time. All proceeds from the gig went to the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice who received a cheque for £1,441 raised at the event. During the gig pupils rocked through a set list of rock and pop classics from the likes of Snow Patrol, Deep Purple, The Undertones, The Beatles and Green Day.

!!!!! Incidentally, a brand new electric guitar and amplifier costs about 1/3rd of the price of a new games console, and is MUCH more fun and socially rewarding!!!!!


David has been involved in music all his life, playing in various bands, most recently ‘Power of Ten’ and ‘The Collectors’, had a record deal with rock band ‘No Hot Ashes’, and has published a number of songs. Disappointed that so many children’s natural interest in making music falls by the wayside as more and more time is devoted to things like games consoles he decided to do something about it.
