Rookie Rock Rules!
by ajmamma
Teacher Tyleena was wonderful with all the kids. Lots of fun songs including James Brown and Stevie Wonder, as well as a funky "Itsy Bitsy Spider". There were story time songs and the kids used the drums and rattles and we danced and sang and waved around ribbon and scarves. I think my kids liked "All Aboard the Choo-Choo Train" the best. I really miss their Rookie Rock class!
- Pros: fun for kids and parents
- Cons: They aren't in Forest Grove yet.
Best Music School in Town!
by stratorsgirl
We went to watch one of the Camp Rocks! band camps perform at Mississippi Pizza a couple of weeks ago and we were floored by how confident the kids were in their new found skills! They put on a fabulous performance and were so enthusiastic about performing! They're musical skills were appropriate for their ages, but ultimately, it was their confidence in front of a crowd that shone! I can't wait to send my kids to SR's camps and lessons as they get older- It's so worth the cash!
You can watch the band performances on YouTube by doing a search for Sound Roots. So great!
Fara and Chris are such a great couple and they're doing a fantastic job of running this little school. You can tell that they're passionate about music and people. NE Portland is very lucky to have them a part of the community!
- Pros: bike parking, street parking, public transportation,
