Kansas City Academy Music Program Rocks
Kansas City Academy will hold its 10th semi-annual Rock Concert on April 17 & April 18 at 7pm in the theater at the school located at 7933 Main, just southeast of the Waldo area. Cost to get into the concert is $5 per person.

Schools of Rock have become common, but the music program of Kansas City Academy is not. This school does not have choirs or orchestras—students spend their music class time learning how to perform with each other in electric bands, allowing students to develop their own unique musical sound (voice) while learning how to interact with others musically. The focus of musical learning is on letting students acquire experience in choosing and mastering the songs of recording artists they admire.
This concert will feature songs made famous by The Band, Ann Peebles, Lisa Loeb, Feist, Jethro Tull, Cream, Devendra Banhart, Jimi Hendrix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tilly And The Wall, Janis Joplin, Tom Waits, Rihanna and Joe Cocker. Several original songs by advanced students will also be featured in this program. These Rock Concerts are held to give students the actual feel of performing in a rock concert setting.
