Damnit, my kids are 7 and 9, they're past it!
I'm concerned I have a 4 year old !!
Wow ? Which ones mine.
Great article. Thanks for posting.
@richardyot my daughter is 12. I need to have serious words with her..
Oh, the fame and fortune will tear their little lives apart.
Welcome to suburbia, where adults feel the need to dictate all aspects of playtime for their children, aka little adults, so that they can exploit them as part of an unfulfilled rock n' roll fantasy. It's great for the school that they got the Flaming Lips and Björk to pose for that creepy album cover, but it makes the little squirts seem like an afterthought. Also, School of Rock was a terrible movie.
Hey, art is something that hasn't been "disrupted" yet...until now! Yay for bro-culture!!
I want a 4 year old Nero to play the fiddle when the eventual outcome rears its ugly head...
Yeah, yeah. True I guess.
But it does sound, you know, quite fun if you're 6. Maybe it's dreadful in practice, but the idea of making a song in a week with some kids is quite a nice one.
Actually, the music school in the article is in the urban mission district of San Francisco.
Also, the blackboard in school of rock was worth the movie:

I chose the word more sociological reasons than for real estate location, since the burbs have been turning hipster and moving back to the city anyways (i.e. Williamsburg).
It's a class thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerted_cultivation
How did this work out for Wolfgang?
@solador78 my impression from the article is that one of the primary principles of the group is allowing the kids to develop their own ideas rather than trying to emulate other musicians, stories, movies, or TV shows they've been exposed to. Furthermore everyone collaborates and learns to get a long with each other.
I grew-up with "concerted cultivation" and it only works in theory. Soccer moms and helicopter parenting isn't the right way to develop and encourage creativity in children. According to sociologists everywhere, it has the complete opposite effect. Programs like the one described in the article turn little children in entitled little brats with no regard for authority and very few other skills.
Compare this program (where adults are front and center and the stars of the show) to the Alpha Boys School or the band Unlocking the Truth, where the kids come from lower class backgrounds and the adults stay in the background.
