Print This Post
Rawkstars, Inc. is partnering with The Passim Center and The Passim School of Music on a 9-month pilot music program serving 60+ music students in conjunction with Prospect Hill Academy in Cambridge.
Club Passim is one of the nation’s legendary cultural icons and epicenter of great folk and acoustic music. The venue’s 50+ year role in America’s musical and cultural history is still being assessed in books, recordings, documentaries, articles, and music biographies.
Prospect Hill is a 14 year old Charter School based in Cambridge and Somerville, serving 900 students grades K-12 across three campuses.
Rawkstars will be providing 40 instruments and musical accessories to the pilot as well as working on operational, analytic and marketing efforts to support the students, instructors and its partners.
“We are extremely excited to be working with such luminary partners”, says Jonathan Jacobs, founder and Executive Director of Rawkstars. “This collaboration represents a major step in Rawkstars’ growth and in its mission to provide opportunity to Boston area kids through music programs.”
The pilot program begins in September 2010 and will run throughout the 2010-11 school year. It will include 4 groups of students encompassing kindergarten through 8th grade. Younger kids will work towards learing basic musical rhythms and hand drumming while older students will begin learning guitar through a highly supervised curriculum.
