21 Quotable Quotes. Rock and Roll Academy allows a certain type of kid more opportunities inside our school one where they can be successful, where they can have success. I get s and calls all day long from people who have the next thing that s going to save education. But from the first written materials I received from you, Rock and Roll Academy has done everything it purported to do. And more. And I thank you for that. -Chuck LaFata, Principal, Reading High School, Reading, Ohio.

22 Quotable Quotes. Bravo! I m so glad Billy was able to rearrange his schedule to take this class. Even though it means he ll have to squeeze in the required course he traded for it next year, it s well worth it for this experience. He s been so enthusiastic about Rock and Roll Academy he talks about it all the time. How much more he s learned about instruments, about collaboration with a team, about music and songs in general, about interpersonal communication I could go on it s amazing. He already knew Band (trumpet) was his thing, but now he sees such a bigger picture. He now talks about forming a Rock & Roll band w/some friends! Thanks, Jera, for being the perfect teacher with the spot-on knowledge, skill set, and personality to foster the right environment for this, and thanks to RHS for implementing the program. And thanks, Mark, for a brilliant program! I admit we (Band parents) feared Rock and Roll Academy initially, fearing it was a threat to the limited attention and resources available to the Band program, but it has only greatly complemented and helped draw attention to the existing growing Band program. Best regards, Billy s Mom & VP- District Band Boosters

23 Jera (Facilitator) is fantastic, full of heart and love and willingness...surrendering and seeing...described her kids as "just flowering" from day one to day two. Mark Galbo, Founder and CEO of RRA Intervention Specialist Teacher came to facilitator and said, "I think Charlie belongs in this class." Charlie, as it turns out, is struggling and not engaged anywhere in the school. He came into RRA and was so nervous and excited he could barely speak. "My friends have been telling me about this, he said, and I want to come and join the class." He pulled his cell phone from his pocket and said, "I made a recording and I want to play it for you. I'm not going to lie, there's some bad words in here." Jera smiled and said, "Oh, like I've never (used) swear words before." He got the joke, relaxed, and proceeded to play a fairly sophisticated recording he had made on his computer. He used a synthesizer and drum loops. His friend sang.. Charlie s a natural.. Quotable Quotes. He toured the room with big eyes. Jera said, Come Monday, third bell. Charlie walked out feeling ten feet tall.
