• Welcome to Rock Band

    Students will be studying rock music by decades, years, styles and artists.
    Each class will consist of discussions and videos. 
    Students will be placed into groups for each unit. 
    The groups will practice their songs during each class session. 
    After the 5th practice session, each group will perform for the class. 
    Each student will write critiques of the group performances. 
    Grades will be based on daily work, written critiques, and teacher's rubric of performances.
