#WeWereAllStudents
"In 1968, I was that kid sitting in the back of class wondering what any of this had to do with my life."
If TeachRock had been around then? Everything would've been different.
Music is history, culture, and the story of who we are-- and TeachRock has delivered that to 1 million kids!
We were all students once, so here's what I'm asking you to do: dig up a high school photo and share your story. What did music mean to you? Who was the teacher that got you?"
Here's the set list

Empower Students

Why this
hits different
Behind every student who thrives is someone who showed up, believed, and inspired them. But too often, teachers work without the resources they deserve, and students miss out on the spark that makes learning come alive.
Founded by Stevie Van Zandt, TeachRock gives teachers free, ready-to-use lesson plans that connect music, history, and culture to core subjects, making school relevant, engaging, and joyful.
Your $10 helps us bring that kind of learning to even more classrooms, empowering teachers and inspiring millions more students to find their spark.
“I’m not a ‘school’ person–I kind of hate it. I love music, art, and theater, but I have a hard time in all my regular classes. But this class lets me use the things I love to learn the things I’m expected to.”

Join the movement
It’s not about how much you give — it’s about how many of us show up. When we each give, share our story, and remember what inspired us as students, we help millions more find their spark.
