Class is in session this fall as the Talcott Rockers prepare to take the stage!  This dynamic program incorporates language skills, social interactions, motor coordination and multisensory experiences as we listen to, study, create and play some good old rock and roll.  As a group, the Talcott Rockers will study the roots of and follow the progression of rock and roll through the years.  We will discuss and learn the categories of music and instrumentation utilized through listening labs, as well as study how rock has changed over the years in terms of the way it sounds to the way we listen.  Through group collaboration and interaction, the Talcott Rockers will organize, develop and create their own rock and roll hit.
 
As a group, the Talcott Rockers will have hands on opportunities to explore a variety of musical instruments, as well as build an instrument of their own to take home.  Rockers will take turns playing each instrument and participate in an audition to determine the role they will play in the group.  We will experience group dynamics and discuss the importance of sharing and accepting each other's role in the band.  The rockers will take part in movement workshops to strengthen and develop hand skills, rhythm, timing and coordination so they can show off their super star dance moves, while strumming, plucking and drumming their way through their play list.  In addition, we will develop band paraphernalia, create concert posters, make and market souvenirs. 
 
Let's get ready to ROCK!!!  That's right, the Talcott Rockers will be winding down their 12 weeks with a concert performance for parents and friends.  We'll take all of the skills we learned in the classroom to the stage as we perform our own variations of songs from each era of rock & roll that we study.  Wait until you see us move, sing and play in the greatest rock and roll performance of the year!
