Rock 'n' Roll
Read
the text and answer the questions that follow.
Rock ’n’ Roll
So you
want to be a rock ’n’ roll star? Until recently, there was not much studying
you could do to fulfill this ambition. Rock stars of the past relied on raw
talent, hard work and a lot of luck; even the members of the Beatles had no
formal education in music.
But now,
throughout the United States ,
the United Kingdom
Some
programmes train students in performance-related skills such as sound and
lighting and stage presence: how to develop self-confidence and deal with stage
fright. Students may also find out about group dynamics and what to do with
group members whose egos get too big. Sometimes students also learn about logo
and brand names, and may pass out autographed photos of themselves to “fans”
after a performance.
For those
who cannot find a local programme, summer camps devoted to rock music are also
available. Here, counsellors accompany students to lessons, rehearsals and jam
sessions, as well as to music shops and recording studios. Participants may
also attend performances in local bars, and meetings are arranged with famous
local musicians. From them, campers find out not only about technique, but also
about the realities of life in the music business, and how to make it a career.
However,
not everyone wants hands-on instruction. People who prefer a more academic
approach can choose from classes available in various locales on rock ’n’ roll
related subjects. Even people with no musical talent may enjoy learning about
the evolution of the genre, girl groups or the rise of Motown, for example.
So
whether your interest in music is theoretical or practical, there is now
somewhere for you to study. Who knows where the next rock and roll
sensation may be learning right now?

3. ……
