Clár rochtana ceoil do dhéagóirí é seo a bhfuil an-tóir air. Cuirtear teagasc ar fáil faoin gclár i réimse uirlisí agus fonnadóireacht chomh maith le bheith ag casadh in ensemble. Bíonn deiseanna ann do na rannpháirtithe bualadh le ceoltóirí a bhfuil an dearcadh ceoil céanna acu, bannaí a bhunú agus a gceol féin a scríobh. Tá an clár seo á reáchtáil faoi láthair i dTuaim, ar an nGort, i mBaile Locha Riach, sa Cheathrú Rua agus sa Chlochán. Faigheann RockPopHipHop tacaíocht ó Chomhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe, Foróige, Youth Work Ireland, Involve, Tusla agus FÓRAM Chonamara.
“Tá na tairbhí móra a bhí ag an gclár seo ar na rannpháirtithe feicthe againn, idir níos mó muiníne agus féinmheasa, agus cairde nua a dhéanamh a bhfuil na spéiseanna céanna acu. Tá aiseolas an-dearfach faighte againn ó roinnt de na tuismitheoirí agus caomhnóirí, agus mhaígh roinnt acu go raibh an clár tar éis saol a bpáiste a athrú ó bhonn.”

“We have witnessed first-hand the massive benefits this programme has had on the lives of its participants, be it increased confidence and self-esteem, to making friends with a similar interest. The feedback we have received from some parents and guardians has been amazing with some stating that the music generation programme has been life changing for their child.”
