Musicians get their chance
Rotherham College of Arts and Technology is now home to the new Roland Music Academy - one of only three in the country and the first in the North.
The partnership between the college and Roland Music UK - leading makers of synthesisers and keyboards - has led to a specialist training centre which will house music equipment and feature courses run by professional musicians.
