Toddler Rock Program at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Toddler Rock®

The Toddler Rock Program uses popular music to teach nearly 400 select Head Start children each week through music, movement, singing, and storytelling.

ABOUT

Research continues to demonstrate that when a child is exposed to music at an early age, their chances for academic success later in life increase exponentially. 

Since 1999, the Rock Hall has partnered with the Beck Center for the Arts and Step Forward to teach Cleveland's underserved three- to five-year-olds with their teachers. Licensed music therapists facilitate sessions at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
