Beechworth has a rich artisan community of musicians and music makers. The BMF Rock School is an initative of the Beechworth Music Festival and aims to provide opportunities for local and regional young people interested in music to develop their skills with the support, mentoring and expertise of highly experienced local musicians and industry professionals. Rock School participants are also provided with opportunities to perform at local venues and at the Beechworth Music Festival. Future plans include finding a permanant home that houses a rehearsal and songwriters space and a recording studio that shares it's resources with the wider community.

With a professionally equipped studio, the BMF Rock School will be able to help cut costs by sharing with other interested organisations including schools, other local events such as the Kelly Country Pick and Celtic Festival and its key partner, community radio station Indigo FM. For young people to develop a career in music there is a need to be educated properly. Our musicians and industry specialists will cover a range of topics including, music performance, songwriting, stagecraft and back stage work, basic audio and sound, music recording and video, DJ'ing and radio broadcast in an inclusive confidence building environment.
