School of Rock
Why is School of Rock a good class to take? Every high school student loves and connects to music, but not every student is interested in taking traditional ensemble music classes like band or choir. Since music is such an integral part of all of our lives, it is important to recognize the characteristics of quality music as well as the reciprocal relationship between music and society.
There is no better way to understand music than to experience the process of songwriting and performing. Students learn how to play keyboard as well as how to use the forms and techniques involved in lyric-writing. Using these skills, students are able to write complete original songs, both in groups and individually. Beyond simply learning musical and lyrical skills, students learn how to understand and evaluate a rapidly expanding range of music, to collaborate with peers in a creative endeavor, and to express their own ideas in way that is more powerful than words alone.
