Academy of Rock Concert Launch: Where Great Musicians are Born

It was a night full of music and talents last June 22 at The Rockwell Tent, Academy of Rock (AOR) launched their branch here in the Philippines. It has been operating in Singapore for 5years and its successes and achievenments have exceeded all expectations.

Press conference was held at their studio located at the 3/F Powerplant Mall, Rockwell. AOR's Directors Charles Lim, Priscila Teo and Jeremy Ward answered the questions of the media people. One question asked by a blogger "Why did you choose to open here in the Philippines among any other countries?" Mr. Charles Lim answered that "simply because we know that Filipinos are great singers and really love music, and we believe that they can really go far" that was really a flattering complement for all of us.

After the presscon, we had some cocktail foods and have the chance to tour around the studio. I think they have almost 10 or more studios wherein they can focus and concentrate while teaching their students. Each room has a dedicated lessons, room for guitar lesson, drums lesson and voice lesson. Upon entering the studio you will see rack of magazines and displays of their guitars.

It also has its very own retail department with the AOR MUSIC STORE which will market its 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.

This 2012, it has been presented with an opportunity to stretch its arms beyond the shores of Singapore. AOR had the system, the strength and the network of support to share its expertise with the land of musical talents – the Philippines. It is with pride that the latest addition to the AOR family is presented - the Academy Of Rock Phils, Inc.  The successful launch last June 22 was capped with a show which featured Yeng Constantino and Sandwich.
