Our Story
It was my second year as a Music Teacher. My demands were manageable, weekly music classes, providing assembly items, running the odd talent quest. But early in March, those dreaded two words came up – School Production.
I panicked.
I had no doubts about “Why?”.
Everyone knew school musicals could achieve so much. Students gained self-esteem, formed lasting friendships and learned teamwork. The school benefited from multi-age collaboration, positive teacher student relationships and wider community involvement.
But I had no idea of “How?”.
I had two options: a ‘traditional’, outrageously expensive musical with difficult songs and a dated storyline, or creating my own. I seriously considered writing my own musical, but soon realised the task was beyond me. Was I capable of creating an amusing script? Could I even write a song? Was it legal to use popular songs? And what about creating backing tracks?
It was then I had the joy of meeting Robin of Sherwood and Cinderella – as created by the composer John Duff. These musicals had everything I, and every other elementary music teacher, was looking for: hilarious scripts, amusing characters and catchy, bright songs.
Over the next few years, John and I worked together to create more school musicals and classroom programs.
Thus RockED Music was born.
John Duff and I took our RockED Musicals live on tour in schools for several years, in the form of ‘A Musical In A Day’ and ‘A Musical In A Month’.
The time spent doing this hands-on work with schools, for over two decades, means that our musicals have been tried and tested, edited and refined many times over. As a result, each production is guaranteed to be perfectly paced and immaculately structured. The engaging characters and humorous scripts have survived the crucible of numerous workshops, rehearsals and public performances.
