In this class we will learn about the singers and musicians that atrted Rock and Roll, and also look at the times they lived in. We will watch a video about the person's life, talk about the times they lived in, then listen to some of their songs, and discuss. We will also play trivia and other games. This is ongoing, so each week will not build upon each other, and we will keep going, studying more musicians and songs, as long as there is interest.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I teach Reading, Grammar, History and have: taught full-time, and worked as a substitute teaching many different subjects in classes from Kinder to 12th grade.

The students should have fun while they learn, as that's the way we learn the most.
