Roots of American Music : programs


Assembly Programs

ROAM assemblies are exciting, educational performances designed to adher to Ohio Arts Acadmic Content Standards as well as Standards for Math, Social Studies and Science depending on the program selected. Students, teachers and staff hear examples of traditional roots music – jazz, old-time, bluegrass, blues and Appalachian folk music – from musicians who are expert in these genres. Before each song, the performers give a brief, but in-depth explanation of the historical, social or cultural circumstances that led to the creation of the music. Students leave these 40-to-50-minute assemblies both informed and entertained.

ROAM can tailor an assembly to meet your school or community need. Our staff is glad to meet with you to plan and advertise a program to meet the needs of your target audience. Please contact us for assembly prices or more detailed information on any of these programs. Click Here to Learn More!



Residency Programs

Our residencies use arts-based education to reinforce academic content and develop critical thinking skills. Each residency ends with a culminating performance, which may be augmented by a professionally recorded and produced student compact disc or DVD. Click Here to Learn More!
