Description

This class will explore the evolution of rock and roll from its earliest influences to present day. Given Northeast Ohio’s rich rock history (Alan Freed, a Cleveland disc jockey popularized the phrase “rock and rollâ€) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there will also be a focus on Cleveland’s impact on the development of this musical genre.
