Rock and Roll Academy Aspen, Offers a Music Program That Doesn’t Teach Notes?
The Rock and Roll Academy, now in its third year in Aspen, takes a different approach to music instruction. Students form bands, choose their own music, and work collaboratively, emphasizing the social emotional aspects of learning.
Aspen, CO, August 30, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making characterize social emotional learning in the RRA.
With no written music in the curriculum, students learn through listening and collaboration. Learning music becomes intrinsically social in nature. This social aspect may explain the popularity of the program.
At a time when the dropout rate for music programs is on the rise, RRA kids continue to find success, commonly learning to play two or three instruments in the play-based atmosphere of the RRA. Ask any RRA kid how they learned to play so many instruments. “I don’t know,” they’ll answer, “I just played.”
The Rock and Roll Academy: social, play-based, and student-driven… developing creativity, independence, and leadership.
