Have you seen the movie School of Rock

Well thanks to the folks at One2One Network, have I got an offer for you.

The actual School of Rock (Not the movie) is a leader in kids music education and has many (58) locations throughout the US.  They are currently offering a FREE week of instruction for kids ages 7-18. The free week will allow kids to enjoy one private trial lesson (30-45 min) and one Rock 101 group class (90 min). Must redeem by 10/31/2010

With budget cuts in education generally targeting programs like music, this could be a great way to supplement their education

School of Rock has been teaching kids how to amaze audiences for more than ten years. They offer lessons in guitar, bass, vocals, drums and keyboards for kids ages 7 – 18. No experience necessary just eagerness to learn - School of Rock knows the best way to learn is by doing!

School of Rock's performance-based curriculum teaches kids to play rock music in a unique and interactive way, which is changing the way kids learn to play music across America.  Professional musicians teach students of all levels, developing both their music skills and confidence.  School of Rock operates 58 schools in 23 states.

Now here is my two cents... I think this is a great idea and before this had no idea this existed outside the movie. I personally think that music education is undervalued in today's world. Not only does this give kids something positive they can be proud of, but it offers them an alternative to "hanging out". I have signed my icky teen for the free week. He wants to do the drums. So I encourage everyone with a child aged 7-18 in their life to sign them up! It is free and never hurts to try something new.
