ACADEMY OF ROCK
Where Great Musicians Are Born
BUILT TO LAST
A Message from Our Founder
As
an institution which strongly believes in holistic learning, Academy Of Rock
(AOR) provides a conducive environment for students to build and develop their
character, inspire creativity and forge lasting relationships through the
process of learning.
In
the 5 years that we have been in operation, AOR’s successes and achievements
have exceeded all expectations. In 2011, we were awarded the Promising SME 500
2012 from Small Medium Business Association (SMBA), Singapore. We distinguish
ourselves from many other music institutions by ensuring that our teachers are
internationally certified to conduct music lessons. It is part of AOR’s culture
to expose students to a diverse range of musical experiences as such our
students are given opportunities to perform at world-class art venues locally
as well as abroad.
It
was a dream come true when we launched
our very own retail department with the AOR MUSIC STORE which will market our
very own AOR range of instruments. These range of instruments have been
carefully selected to cater to the beginners and their quality in construction
and finish will prove to be the instrument of choice for any new music prodigy.
Experience
the joy of playing the music of today as well as strumming to the beats of the
past, with a structured learning system that is systematic yet tailored to the
individual. Be pampered with the choice to pursue your academic aspirations
with the leading Rock Music Examination board in the world – Rockschool UK. And
get inspired to showcase your talents on the stage or screen.
In
2012, we were presented with an opportunity to stretch our arms beyond our
shores. AOR had the system, the strength and the network of support to share
our expertise with the land of musical talents – the Philippines. We hereby
proudly present to you, Academy Of Rock Phils, Inc, the latest addition to the
AOR family.

THE AOR BAND
The AOR
Band is the premier student band from Academy Of Rock comprising of talented
youths hand-picked from the music school. They started out in 2009 performing
for a charity show when the performance bug hit them and they have taken their
talents to the stage at world-class arts venues such as The Esplanade and even
overseas to Hong Kong Disneyland. For this chapter of their constantly evolving
line-up, we have five young souls who are passionate about music as much as getting up on
stage and rocking it out.
OUR EVENTS
The
AOR event and production team has successfully organized bi-yearly full-scale
concerts for our students since 2007. We have seen guest artists as well as
students from schools as far as Canada share the stage with our students. This
has lead to invitations for our students to perform in Hong Kong Disneyland as
well as Singapore’s
premier arts venue, The Esplanade.

has had the pleasure of working with Academy of Rock for the past three years.
The teachers have demonstrated a complete commitment to their profession by
taking our teaching diplomas and the quality of teaching is shown by the
success in the examinations the students take. Academy of Rock has a
professional and exciting approach to contemporary music that is well partnered
by Rockschools innovative and unique qualifications. I look forward to working
ever more closely with Academy of Rock. –J.Ward © 2011

AOR
has been a wonderfully encouraging place for my 3 daughters to fully realise
their passion and potential for their musical talents. The out-of-classroom
exposure through public performances clearly sets AOR apart as pupils get to
really nurture their confidence to showcase their talent. The enjoyable pace is
also coupled with a clear aim to prepare their students for formal recognition
of their emerging talent, which puts us parents at ease considering the
considerable investment. Most importantly, my kids truly enjoy their lessons!

I
thoroughly enjoyed my time at Academy Of Rock. All the staff are friendly and
helpful and you are made to feel welcome the instant you walk in. It seems to
me that if you’d like to learn music in a professional, friendly environment,
then this is the place to go. I can verify that the teachers are of a high,
musical standard, having worked alongside them myself and it was an absolute
pleasure to meet such talented young musicians during my time in Singapore.

AOR
is my family! It is one of the few places I really feel comfortable because it
is where I go to do what I love - making music! It was through the concerts
where I found many friends taught by other teachers, and friends whom I would not
have even met if not for the concert, since we all come for classes at
different times. AOR Concerts are really awesome! I love AOR!
Academy Of Rock Phils., Inc

Design Concept
The
deliberate play on AOR’s corporate colours of Orange, Deep Red and Yellow
create a warm and lively tone, producing an atmosphere conducive for learning
and exploring one’s musical creativity. Decals of iconic lyrics are clearly
displayed to inspire one to achieve greatness in song and individuality. One
will also find studios comfortably sized to meet every student’s learning
demands with state of the art instruments and equipment for students of any
background. The heavy use of professional instruments and technology will also
be extensively incorporated into the school to leverage on the latest available
applications.
