Rockschool Acoustic Grade 3 is for students who have been learning approximately eighteen months to two years and have established the basic skills, preliminary techniques and the beginnings of stylistic awareness through articulation and the introduction of solo and improvisation work.

The 2019 Acoustic syllabus is a refreshed approach to acoustic guitar. The syllabus features six tracks for each grade that have been meticulously benchmarked to support students as they learn the instrument. At each grade two of the pieces ask the students to perform without backing track, exploring the sound and resonance of their instrument.

Composer of Groningen Egbert composed the march Hellender in response to the opening of the bandroom of the Hellendoornse Harmonie (NL). The joyfull sounds of the march let you hear how well the total refurbished building now looks again: fresh, bright and spacious!

The name Hellender was chosen from historical awareness. The village Hellendoorn is an ancient village as shown by archaeological finds. In 1078 the name Hellender can be found in the archives. Hellender changed into Hellendoorn later.

Componist Egbert van Groningen schreef de mars 'Hellender' naar aanleiding van de opening van het clubgebouw van de 'Hellendoornse Harmonie'. De vrolijke klanken van de mars laten goed horen hoe het totaal opgeknapte gebouw er nuweer uitziet: fris, licht en ruim!

De naam Hellender is gekozen vanuit een stuk historisch besef. Het dorp Hellendoorn is een eeuwenoud dorp zoals blijkt uit archeologische vondsten. Pas in 1078 duikt de naam Hellenderop in de archieven. Hellender veranderde later in Hellendoorn.
