Attaining equality in music education, this program allows children to discover instruments with their peers and perform. From guitar, bass, drums or keyboards – learners can select their chosen instrument.
Students will study key musical figures who shaped rock and pop music during this unit of work. Middle schoolers will have an opportunity to understand and appreciate these artists’ legacies.
Especially Kids Rock
Music education can be an elusive luxury for many children. Formal school music programs, campfire drum circles or simply listening to great songs at home – it has been shown that kids who learn how to play music benefit in terms of increased perseverance and cognitive development as well as spatial-temporal thinking skills. Unfortunately, however, accessing musical instruction is becoming increasingly difficult: many public school students cannot afford music lessons due to budget cuts and influenza pandemic reduction; also private instructors do not always provide instruments when needed by these kids.
Local musicians are helping children in foster care discover their inner musical maker through A Chance to Rock, a nonprofit founded by Nelda Studios, The Buckman Fund and Austin Angels that offers free music lessons and instruments. As part of its fundraising efforts, musical superstars such as Kathy Valentine of Go-Go’s, Ray Benson from Asleep at the Wheel and Adrian Quesada from Black Pumas recorded personal testimonies that can be found on A Chance to Rock’s website.
Foster care children often benefit immensely from learning an instrument, especially those in foster care. Music helps teach these youngsters about relationships – not only within a band or orchestra but within families as a whole as well. Children this age love puzzles and seeing how each part comes together, which makes harmonies, which means playing music without speaking, so much fun!
Rockband
Rock U classes provide an exciting and creative way to learn how to play in a band, teaching students the responsibilities and rewards of teamwork while providing access to songs they wouldn’t otherwise learn by themselves, as well as learn to perform for an audience. Both four month programs feature weekly three hour group rehearsals as well as two concerts; in order to participate guitar and piano students must know basic chords as well as be able to keep a rhythm.
