The world's largest roaming teaching rock school is coming to Ipswich primary schools next month.

Rocksteady Music School has announced it will begin working in the town from April, and will give primary school children the chance to learn music in a band setting.

Mark Robinson, founder of Rocksteady and music teacher, discovered that teaching music in a band setting using child-led practices speeds up the rate of musical progression.

He also found that it can deliver a life-changing impact on children’s confidence, resilience and well-being.

Laura Driffield, marketing director at Rocksteady said: "The impact of our work so far has seen a huge improvement in schools for attendance, general wellbeing, communication, teamwork, and gaining musical skills."
