Disney favourites the Jonas Brothers are spreading their love of music.
The teen trio, who are currently touring Europe, made a surprise visit to Ryton Comprehensive School in Gateshead, UK, to teach students about the importance of music.
"We're here today to talk to the students here at this wonderful school, just about the importance of music, the importance of getting involved with music if you can, our love of music, and what we've learned in our experiences so far. And hopefully we'll give them some insight into what it's like to be a musician and an artist," said Nick Jonas.
The music session was part of the Department for Children, Schools and Families' campaign, Tune In - Year of Music. The campaign is partnered with the Disney Channel.
During a special music class taught by the Jonas', students learned how to play the guitar, put together a song and basic music techniques.
The brothers also shared their own experiences on being in a band and took questions from fans before treating them to a special performance.
Tune In - Year of Music is a nationwide government initiative to promote music in UK schools.
"Music is not just something that's done as a hobby it's proven to have a real impact on the way people learn and on the development of their brain," explained Steve Williamson, Head Teacher at Ryton Comprehensive School. "In Gateshead about 4,000 people learn a musical instrument, but very often students give up at secondary level as things get busy as academic pressures come in and we think it's important to keep that balance going throughout their lives."
