    LKR (LITTLE KIDS ROCK) / MODERN BAND

    Overview of Program

    • Little Kids Rock is an amazing activity that elementary students can be involved in Dallas ISD. This program introduces elementary students to musical concepts through contemporary music genres like pop, rock, country, and hip hop. Using a culturally relevant and responsive curriculum, students are engaged on instruments like ukulele, drums, and piano and even get to write their own songs. 

    • Modern Band is the secondary school version of Little Kids Rock. This program provides extensive opportunities for secondary students in Dallas ISD to explore contemporary music like pop, rock, county, and hip hop whether they are musical beginners or have been playing an instrument for years. Students will form bands to practice and perform popular music while they establish musical literacy foundations that will serve them in any musical endeavor. 

    Vision 

    The joint goal is to provide students, K-12 with a vibrant, inclusive music education has resulted in a robust program that currently serves nearly 10,000 students in Dallas ISD, which is the second largest program in the United States.
