Paul Green Rock Academy - Woodstock
The Paul Green Rock Academy — created by the mad genius who founded the nationally acclaimed School of Rock (made famous in the eponymous movie of the same name, starring Jack Black playing Paul!) — has an AWESOME season of summer camps, all featuring up-close-and-personal instruction in small, hands’ on settings with real rock stars and professional musicians.
I find everything about Paul Green's program impressive. I've watched him work with the kids, he doesn't just teach them music, he teaches them creativity and responsibility. Their shows are INSANE. But they are not the type of shows designed to impress parents and make them feel like they spent their money well by quelling kids creativity through drilling and drilling a fairly unambitious program until they get it perfect. These kids are challenged, they're creating, they're working hard and they're loving it. The program and shows are meant to elevate the kids expectations of themselves and what they can do. This is teaching arts at its best. If your kids are would-be rockers, SIGN. THEM. UP.
