Professional Development Workshops for K-12 Educators

Learn how you can make learning come alive for your students through the power of rock and roll!


Teachers Rock is a FREE professional development workshop series for K-12 level educators interested in integrating popular music into their own classroom curriculum.

Sessions spotlight a specific grade band or content area by exploring great moments in rock and roll history and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees who made those moments happen.  Learn appropriate arts-integrated activities and instructional methods from leading educators who have seen success using the sounds and stories of rock in their own teaching and receive featured lessons and resources to take back to your own classroom.   Workshops are held on-site at the Rock Hall.  Documentation of participation is available at the close of each session.

Teachers Rock Highlights



“The follow up activities look great! I can’t wait to use the lesson plan on acoustics. I’ve been dying to find a way to sneak in Robert Moog and the development of the synthesizer. We especially liked the demonstration of the recording software”
