I started working with School of Rock at an awkward time. Wednesday was kind of an 'in between day' as School of Rock transitioned out of one semester and into another. Each semester has one show and a theme. I'm not sure what the theme was, but the next one will be Jam Bands. Students will perform songs from classic bands like the Grateful Dead, Phish, and the Allman Brothers.
If you don't know, School of Rock is an after school program where students come to take lessons and play in bands together. As a former students, I know that it's a very rewarding experience for a young musician who is learning how to play an instrument or who just wants to play in a band. They have many places of operation in Cleveland, but I'm working at the branch in Highland Heights.
So far I've mostly been doing managerial work. From entering data into the computer, filing papers, and setting up the space. Later, when it's not an awkward time for School of Rock, I will be doing more significant things. But aside from that, I have been sitting in on private lessons to gain experience on teaching music. The musicians working at School of Rock are all low key people and being around the building and hanging out during lessons are very low pressure and a lot of fun.
