NWACC teaching ‘History of Rock ‘n Roll’ this fall

BENTONVILLE (Wednesday, July 2, 2008) – The “History of Rock ’n Roll” will be taught this fall at NorthWest Arkansas Community College.

The course will be offered for credit or audit at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It will focus on American popular music during the past 50 years, said Miles Fish, NWACC music faculty and conductor of the Civic Symphony Orchestra who will teach the course.

The course will include rock ‘n roll lectures, listening and an occasional live performance, Fish said.

He said brown-bag lunches will be permitted in order to accommodate working students on their noon breaks.

“To study rock’s history in the last half of this past century is to study American culture,” Fish said. “The course will help us better appreciate 50 years of great popular music and it will give us the opportunity to appreciate a cultural phenomenon that changed the world.”
