About Girls Rock Glasgow
Girls Rock Glasgow is a CIC dedicated to empowering girls and gender-expansive young people through music, creativity and noise!
Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive space for young people to explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop leadership skills.
Through our 9 day Summer Rock School and beyond, we provide opportunities for girls and gender-expansive youth to learn to play instruments, form bands, and perform live.
We have a year round programme of band mentoring, open mics, exclusive meet & greet opportunities and much more for our graduates and volunteers.
What Is Rock School?
Girls Rock Glasgow hosts an annual 9-day Summer Rock School, where young people dive into music, creativity, and performance. Over the course of the programme, participants learn instruments, form bands, design artwork and merchandise, write original songs, and take to the stage with their new bandmates.
We welcome up to 50 young people each summer, supported by our passionate team of musicians, volunteers, and mentors. Rock School goes beyond technical music training. Covering everything from instrument maintenance, songwriting, and live performance, to yoga, mindfulness, and music herstory - helping young people build confidence, creativity, and community.
The experience culminates in our legendary Graduation Show, where participants debut their original music in front of a live audience, unleashing their inner rockstar.
