If you fancy yourself a blues guitarist or a rock ‘n’ roll drummer, the Music Factory might be what you’re looking for. The only instruments offered here are guitar, bass guitar, drums and piano/keyboard. This is because the Music Factory, formerly called the Rock ‘N’ Blues Academy, specializes in teaching the styles of blues, rock and related genres.
