History of Rock Music

This year, I am teaching a history of rock music exploratory class. We begin with Bill Haley and the Comets in the 50's and go all the way through the 90's. I have had an absolute blast so far listening to and talking about some FUN music! It's also great to see the students make some connections about family members and music, as well as cultural connections concerning music's role in society.

Today we had Megan Wood's grandfather come and talk a little about Buddy Holly. What a great time! He had quite a collection of memorabilia and information to share with the class. I learned several things today! It was a great opportunity to have him come and share his knowledge and enthusiasm with the class! What a resource for us to have!
