The long school holidays are nearly upon us, and in preparation, a number of local organisations are planning their summer activities. One of the more popular is Rock School. This is a 3 day long camp, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm that puts youth (7-16 yrs old) in a band situation where they are taught basic music theory, learn all about the dynamics of playing in a band and write their own song. The camp will culminate in the form of a small concert where the bands will perform to family and friends. The venue is The Living Room, run by Matthew and Megan Snelgrove, in Sun On Village in Sai Kung. There are eight such camps for different ages and abilities held over the summer.
The Living Room is a Hong Kong based social enterprise that exists to provide a safe and empowering environment in which young people (0 -18 years) can discover and develop their God-given talents and abilities. They provide a variety of services such as school holiday camps, music tuition, creative learning classes and life coaching, which are specifically designed to identify each individual child’s unique set of skills and giftings, providing the encouragement and nurturing for them to take root and grow.
The Living Room is run by Matthew and Megan Snelgrove, both true third culture kids who grew up in Asia, with a huge heart for Hong Kong. Through their professional and life experiences, Matt and Meg have seen first hand the effects of the pressures and expectations placed on young people in Hong Kong and have a good handle on both the local and expat scene.
Matt has been working with teenagers for ten years as a youth pastor at The Vine Church, and continues to work with youth in high schools across Hong Kong. He is also the creator of Rock Revolution, a successful music initiative that develops talented young and upcoming musicians. Megan has a background in education and worked as a preschool and primary school teacher for seven years.
