Inspiring students through the power of music
Stevie Van Zandt's TeachRock gives every student a sense of purpose by bringing all curriculum to life through music and culture.
Music gets students to show up, join in, and thrive.
When lessons connect to identity, culture, and the world outside the classroom, students pay attention. TeachRock is a movement of more than 80,000 educators across the US bringing core curriculum to life through the sound and story of music — sparking engagement, strengthening relationships, and keeping students on track to graduate.
