WE HAVE RAISED THE BAR
Preschool of Rock has lifted the mommy & me class to a new level. - Jen. G, Mom, Hoboken
If the goal of a music class is to passionately engage children in the joy of listening, dancing and creating music
together, there is no one better than Michael. His energy, enthusiasm, talent and creativity
ignites musical passion
for children of all ages. - Brad Choyt, Headmaster, Blue Man Creativity Center, NYC
ABOUT: |
Preschool of Rock offers a unique, music based, curriculum for children and their families. Each PoR class or show is a roof raising celebration. We deliver a cerebral experience filled with exciting and intelligent programming. Our use of live, original music, drum circles, guitars, world instruments, dramatic play, props, puppets, movement and storytelling captivate our audiences. The Founder, musician and actor, Michael Napolitano, a long time member of the Blue Man Group organization and former Music Specialist at the Blue Man Creativity Center in NYC, brings the creativity and pedagogy of these two establishments to Preschool of Rock. THIS PROGRAM IS DEVELOPED BY PARENTS, FOR PARENTS. (SEE ORIGINS) |
GOALS:
Music is our tool and learning is our goal.
Through exploring different instruments, languages, rhythms, props, and sounds, our students are encouraged to participate at any
level at any pace. Exploring music through
song, with caregivers and peers, children learn
the basic "how to's?" and "why's?" pertaining
to art and music.
ORIGINS:
While participating in music programs with his children, Michael realized many music classes had too many similarities. He quested to
find new methods and refreshing ways to
offer families
an educational and entertaining
experience. In 2008 he began composing
interactive music targeting movement, group performance, and lessons.
The infectious energy of the classes coupled with free creative expression gives birth to something new, something exciting, Preschool Of Rock. This approach to a 'celebratory' music class invokes a magical response in children, parents and educators.
