EP School of Rock to participate in Teach Music Week

School of Rock Eden Prairie is among the locations participating in the 11th annual Teach Music Week, held March 17-23. The weeklong event invites musicians, music schools, music stores, independent instructors, and other music organizations to offer a free lesson or class to new students, both children and adults.

Teach Music Week is celebrated annually during the third week of March to coincide with Music in Our Schools Month (a program of the National Association for Music Education), which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Anyone interested in learning to play an instrument is encouraged to seek out a participating location or musician friend to help get them started. Teach Music Week also invites public, private and charter school music teachers to schedule activities that will encourage more students to sign up for music, band and chorus classes. 

Teach Music Week is an initiative of Keep Music Alive, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to help more kids (and adults) reap the educational, therapeutic and social benefits of playing music.
