Hey everyone, it feels so good writing an introduction blog for the Skopje Summer School again!
I am so glad that I get to be part of such an experience for the second time and I’m sure that I will have a rocking time with you!! :)
Ok, I’m Blerta Kosova, 16, and singer in the Rock School band “The Frames.” Besides the rock school, I also go to the musical high school “Tefta Tashko” in Mitrovica.
I enjoy spending a lot of time with friends, going out, singing of course, reading and just chilling by listening to good music.
I’m really looking forward in meeting you all, to make some good jams together, in one of my favorite cities, the beautiful Skopje. :)
Hello, my name is Milena Ilievska, I am 22, and I study English language and literature in Northern Mitrovica.
Three months ago I joined Mitrovica Rock School as a drum player. As far as music is concerned I listen to many genres, classic and alternative rock, progressive and psychodelic rock, punk, ska, drum'n'bass, dubstep, and currently I am totally into trip-hop.
Although it won't be my first visit to Skopje, it will be the first with Rock School and I expect a lot of fun. See you there....
I play bass guitar and I started to play 5 years ago. This will be my third summer school experience and everytime is getting better. 'Till Skopje, have fun and see you soon.
The last week of August, 24 Rock School students and their 12 teachers from the Mitrovica Rock School will rock Skopje - for the fourth time!
