Stevie Van Zandt, legendary guitarist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and star of multi-award-winning TV series The Sopranos, visited two special schools in Croydon, south London, to hear how his TeachRock curriculum has inspired vulnerable students to engage in education.
TeachRock was launched in 2002 by Steven with the Founders Board of Bono, Jackson Browne, Martin Scorsese and Bruce Springsteen.
The initiative is an open resource of hundreds of meaningful lesson plans which bring the sound, stories and science of music to classrooms, aiming to engage children and young people with their learning and provide them with a high-quality music education.
