School of Rock Basel, Gadget Guru - Hi-Tech Spring Cleaning

Our first guest this week was Matthias van Stipriaan, founder of the School of Rock Basel. As the name implies, its focus is on rock and pop, among other genres, and you can learn to play electric guitar, piano, drums, electric bass, keyboards and more. Aside from music lessons, the school offers workshops as well as practice rooms for bands. It doesn't matter what level or what age you are (School of Rock Basel has students ranging from the ages of 6 to 80), their private lessons are tailored to your wants and needs. All the teachers speak English, so book a trial lesson now for yourself or your kids! Listen to the interview again here.

In this week's Gadget Guru segment, Ian has a suggestion for making your spring cleaning and storage just that little bit more hi-tech! Listen to the segment again here.
