"Let the wind whistle in your hair and whisper to

"Let the wind whistle in your hair and whisper to yourself: ‘I can do anything." - Shonda Rhimes To all our girls and women - today we celebrate YOU. Let's get this party started! 🤘🙌👌 #HappyInternationalWomensDay #IWD2021

Are you starting to have the same kind of thoughts

Are you starting to have the same kind of thoughts? That a year ago around this time, we had no idea what was about to hit us? Today marks the one year anniversary of the last, live show we hosted in-person at Backbeat, right before COVID hit. Our rock bands were going full tilt, not a mask in sight and the beat was bumping. It was the opposite of physical distancing - we were revelling in the joy of being jam packed into our space celebrating our kids making amazing music together. And one day, we're going to do this again. And when we do, it is going to be INDESCRIBABLE. #thebeatgoeson #learnmusic #joinarockband #backbeatrock

Who is ready for the tall, tall grasses of King Ed

Who is ready for the tall, tall grasses of King Edward School? 🙋 🙋🙋 During rock camp, after lunch, we go to the field by King Edward School to burn off our yogurt tubes and cheese sticks. This past year, the grass in the field was the equivalent of what one would find in a savanna because...well...COVID. So we did what anyone would do and made giant human body prints anywhere and everywhere we could. Fingers crossed the grasses are savanna-long again this year! Registration is now open for Summer Rock Camp! Register using link in bio and give your child something to look forward to this summer! #yegsummercamp #rockcamp #backbeatrock

As many of you know, children's team sports and gr

As many of you know, children's team sports and group dance activities are allowed right now, but children's group music activities are not. So we've put our heads together and come up with some ideas to revamp our group music classes: ✅Have every rock band student take a slapshot at their band leader at the start of rehearsal. ✅Require each Bigger Beats student to do three pirouettes before the start of their class. ✅Launch Little Beats "Bootcamp Edition" where your preschooler will learn to rock out while getting rock hard abs (from doing low-intensity sit-ups)! Joking aside, we know Monday's government announcement was hard and disappointing for many of us. We honestly don't understand the reasoning of allowing kids to dance and play sports in groups, but not play music. Even though we don't have answers at this point, we are continuing to do what we can behind the scenes to get clarity and advocate for what you have told us your kids need. Thanks to all of you who have sent us notes encouraging us to "keep our heads up" and reminding us that you're in our corner. We know that we can get through this together. #thebeatgoeson 📸: the wonderful @thegrayhivephoto #learnmusic #joinarockband #backbeatrock

See this kool kid? He recently moved to the other

See this kool kid? He recently moved to the other side of Canada, but we still get to rock out with him every week because with Little Beats Online, it doesn't matter where you are! Even though we really miss our in-person group classes, we're sure glad for technology that lets us keep teaching our students. There's nothing we love more than seeing their faces every week. Want to get in on the fun? Learn more about our Little Beats program by using link in bio. NOTE: this photo was taken pre-COVID. #preschoolmusic #noiserock #backbeatrock #yegkids
