rocksteady reggae school
London
Currently designed for children aged 4-6; The Rastamouse Rocksteady Reggae
school delivers elements of the Music National Curriculum in a variety of
formats - from one day workshops through to a comprehensive ten-week programme
incorporated into school timetables. Developed with music practitioner Sally
Greaves with the support of The Rastamouse Company, the team at EMI and the
Triborough Music Hub of Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith &
Fulham and Westminster City; the Rocksteady programme has been piloted and
evaluated in a number of London schools since April 2012. Drawing inspiration
from the stories of Michael De Souza and Genevieve Webster, the CBeebies
television programme, and incorporating the uplifting music of Andrew Kingslow;
the Rocksteady music project puts a variety of instruments into the hands of
children to provide a thoroughly cross-curricular experience to excite and
engage young minds.
