COVID mitigations, will be in place.
Begun in 2007, Grand Canyon School of Rock is a fast-paced, week-long education program providing local Grand Canyon Unified Schools students the opportunity to experience all aspects of band life. From intensive rehearsals and lessons focusing on rock and pop music theory, techniques and styles, to the culminating public performances, School of Rock students share in all aspects of band life.
SoR students compose their own music, and arrange and interpret standards from popular music genres. They are exposed to new music, are introduced to music production, and develop their own performance skills as they learn the discipline of ensemble performance and participation.
Teaching artists Joe Deninzon and Steve Benson lead the charge, with the support of Grand Canyon Unified Schools’ music teacher and staff.
In 2020 our School of Rock went remote, but our students’ creativity continued to shine!
Their original composition, “Breakdown Lockdown,” is a moving refection on their stuggles during the Covid-19 pandemic.
