2015 Spring After School Enrollment Is OPEN! Rock and Roll Academy Aspen Emphasizes Social Emotional Learning The Rock and Roll Academy, now in its fifth 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. Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making characterize social emotional learning in the RRAA. 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 70-95%, RRAA kids continue to find success, commonly learning to play two or three instruments in the play-based atmosphere of the RRAA. Ask any RRAA kid how they learned to play so many instruments. “I don’t know,” they’ll answer, “I just played.” The Rock and Roll Academy Aspen: social, play-based, and student driven… developing creativity, independence, and leadership. ● Registration is now open for RRAA Spring 2015 Session! ● Spring Session runs 14 weeks from January 19th – May 9th ● 5th Annual Spring Concert, Saturday May 9th ● No classes during Spring Break (March 16th – 27th) ● Custom bands of 4-6 students created for ages 8-18 ● Bands meet once per week for 90 minutes ● Students may use RRAA instruments during rehearsals or bring their own ● No experience is necessary for a kid to have success in RRA ● Tuition is $595 for the Spring Session and includes two 30 minute private lessons on student’s instrument of choice.
