With the popularity of reality TV dance competitions, your students and the audience will be delighted to jump onto the dance bandwagon and participate in this fun filled and uplifting musical! The classic rock songs showcased in this musical have made an invaluable contribution to our pop music culture. Our story takes place in a senior center where all is quiet and calm and perhaps a bit boring; that is until the Center Director decides to use music and dance to bring fun and excitement into the lives of the seniors. Through songs and dances that were very much a part of the seniors' past, the Director, along with friends and family, encourage the seniors to get “off their rockers†and join in on the fun. All of the dances in Off Their Rockers are easy to learn with several different options for performing them. The dances can be performed by pairs, small groups or presented as full cast production numbers. If you are performing the musical with several classes or grade levels, you may choose to assign a different song and dance to each class or level. Songs include: Old Time Rock and Roll, The Banjo's Back in Town, Rock Around the Clock, At the Hop, The Peppermint Twist, Dancin' in the Street. About 25 minutes in length. For Grades 3-6.

The song repertoire has its origins in the late nineteenth century when every household had a piano and for much of the twentieth century, singers and their pianist collaborators were able to create recital programmes from a deep reservoir of European and North American song. The recital genre became more sophisticated as the century progressed and metamorphosed from a miscellaneous collection of lollipops to something altogether more sophisticated, often featuring elaborate themes which would enable the music to be presented in a variety of new contexts. In the twenty first century opportunities for recitalists are fewer and programmes still tend to focus on the much-loved butwell-explored repertoire. We hope this collection will contribute to a broadening of possibilities for recitalists or anyone who just wants something new to sing. There are several songs for voice and piano but some require other instruments. There is a wide range of styles. We have resisted the temptation to grade them by difficulty, as our criteria were more broadly performative and musical rather than didactic. All selected composers have a particular sympathy for the singing voice, so there is nothing that cannot be sung by a competent performer. The songs generally have a designated voice type, but this shouldn't be thought of as prescriptive; they are designed to be flexible and to offer the maximum opportunity for creative interpretation. They range from the curious and quirky to the virtuosic and challenging, the intense and mysterious to the sad and the light-hearted. We hope that many performers will find their tastes represented here. Compiled by David Blake and John Potter. Edited by Michael Hooper.
