Beat Rockers is an after school beatboxing and music program for blind, visually and/or speech impaired students. By utilizing the art of beatboxing as a teaching tool for students to create music, we fundamentally transform traditional notions of what a music program should be. Rather than teach the students how to play instruments, students become both the musician and the instrument. In addition to cultivating confidence, communication, and self-expression, beatboxing also serves as a tool for speech therapy by helping students better achieve their communication goals as they find increased joy in vocalization exercises via the universal language of music. Beat Rockers after school program takes place every Monday & Wednesday until the end of June. Please contact ark@sacredartsresearch.org for more info.
