SA POWR, a 501(c)(3), will offer opportunities for students to experience playing different genres of music; to learn about job opportunities in the music business, the college application and audition process; and to explore improvisation, composition and music technology.
RockON
Are you ready to bring some electricity to your orchestra? SAPOWR is ready to bring RockON concerts and events to you!
The premise is simple - SAPOWR will work with school orchestra directors and our network of artists to design a tailor-made rock/pop orchestra makeover culminating in a live performance at the end of the experience. Profits from tickets sold to the event directly benefit the school’s music programs. The musical selections are surprising - and include original compositions, custom arrangements of your favorite songs, and bold fusions of everything in between.
SAPOWR will organize the event and help you promote it to ensure we pack the house
concert night! All you have to do is decide to participate and help your students learn the
music. We can’t wait to work with you!!!

RockON -
The advantages of music education are well documented but support for these programs continues to face hurdles. RockON provides a unique solution to these problems by working directly with schools to tailor a program to their needs, raise funds, and inspire students to succeed both in and out of music class.
RockON is a music education phenomenon that FIRES UP students, teachers, and local communities by injecting a high voltage dose of energy and much-needed funding into a school's music education program. This intensive experience boosts student self-esteem and motivation, increases school-wide community engagement, and helps raise money for participating schools.
Created by community of current and former music educators, ROCKON accomplishes this by having our team of teaching artists work with student orchestras to put on real life, real world rock concerts at their schools, local theaters, or arenas; with ticket sales directly benefiting the participating music departments.
We seek to awaken student musicians to their highest potential, opening them up to the adventure of music. RockON transforms quiet young musicians into expressive people who can't wait to learn! Imagine a fifteen year old rushing to orchestra because he or she can't wait to play. Imagine an energized concert hall buzzing with anticipation for music played by these students. RockON makes this happen!
Over the span of a typical 2-3 day visit, we coach students to express themselves fully through their music and let the world know who they really are! Visits range in size from school-centric events to large-scale extravaganzas that include music students from the entire school district. In its larger form, the final concert events have included upwards of 1,500 kids onstage performing in front of 15,000+ people.
