1. "Smells like Teen Spirit"
2. "Smoke on the Water"
3. "Sweet Child of Mine"
4. "Seven Nation Army"
5. "Sweet Dreams" (Manson)
6. "Enter Sandman"
Any others?

Music Teachers:
How was your first week? What activities did you do with the kids?
If you haven't started yet, what's the plan?
My son has started skateboarding lessons. I've been noticing the parallels between the general acceptance of street sports like this as legit and the general acceptence of popular music genres in schools.
I've also been thinking about the ways in which these sports are often learned—outside of school, within friend groups, through personal interest, and through imitation.
Sounds familiar. 🤔
This fantastic event put on by @fflatbooks is PAY WHAT YOY WISH. All proceeds go to presenters. Check out my session on how to teach guitar in an authentic way to promote lifelong learning.

New merch alert!!
Check out these cool stickers! Now, when you order Rock Coach, Creative Musicking, or Tech for Unleashing Creativity from my website, you'll get stickers for FREE.
In an attempt to make my socials more useful and valuable for #musicteachers, I'm going to try to do weekly themed tips for #musictech #popmused and #creativity. Stay tuned!
Imagine what we #musicteachers can learn from musicians who have acquired their craft completely outside of formal school settings.

Posted this on #MusicTeacher FB and some of the comments are making me sad. I mean, I knew they would, but it is disheartening.
And, for some reason, the only pop artist mentioned so far in a negative light has been Taylor Swift.
Wait til they see my new poster or my 2017 book for that matter.
After 15 years of coaching rock bands in schools, it has finally happened.
This is the year we will be learning a System of a Down song.
This new proof copy looks great. Challenge the thinking and #ShiftTheNarrative for yourself, learners, or fellow colleagues. Great discussion topics. This awesome poster will be available for purchase soon!

Engaging more boys in your program is as easy as offering authentic opportunities for exploring the rock/metal/grunge genre.
Distorted guitars, heavy drums, hi-gain bass, and harsh vocals.
