Do you have a love of music that you would like to build a business around? RockMasters is a new launch franchise opportunity, which is seeking motivated and enthusiastic individuals to replicate its exciting business in the experience economy by developing 'rock schools' around the country.

Figures released in 2007 show that musicians spent £110 million on electric, bass and acoustic instruments last year - this was up from £102 million in 2004. "It is estimated that there are between 300,000 and 400,000 people either playing or learning to play the guitar in the UK, indicating that the revival in live pop and rock music is getting stronger and stronger," says RockMasters founder Mike Hurst. "This has created colossal potential to expand into an exciting and rapidly growing market."

Mike is a musician and record producer, who has been a member of The Springfields, played with Jimmy Page and produced 52 hit singles and 25 platinum albums with artists including Cat Stevens, Marc Bolan, The Four Tops and Shakin' Stevens. He originally launched RockMasters in 2005 to provide schools in rock music for both children and adults, typically at summer camps and corporate weekends. RockMasters has, with the help of franchise consultancy FDS, developed a working franchise package. It has also recruited key management personnel with franchise experience, as well as having a substantial injection of capital.

"There are two main strands to the RockMasters experience," reveals Director Mark Mayo. "The first is in organising music tuition courses for school children and university students, which typically involve residential summer camps and non-residential day courses. The second is in providing luxury weekend breaks for adults, which in many cases include the parents of children who are already enjoying RockMasters!"

RockMasters' emphasis is in group and live performances and the company has put together a carefully chosen syllabus geared towards maximising individual talents in a unified group structure. "RockMasters provides each franchisee with a complete business operating model, all the required equipment and a recognised name as 'master musician'," says Mark. "So our courses offer an opportunity for children and adults to learn and play with respected musicians and teachers from the rock world."

The UK's unique rock heritage creates a clear market opportunity and strengthens the RockMasters brand offering. RockMasters' aim is to become the number one franchise involved in music tuition in the world.
