ROCORI Community Education

Did you know that chess has been proven to raise IQs, improve test scores in children, and reduce the risk of dementia? Come join our new instructor, Kyle Gray Young, for a friendly, non-competitive environment for learning the basics of the game. Over the course of 8weeks, students will not only learn the basics but also some of the finer points of the game with many different strategies and approaches to get our brains working in new ways. These skills can help children of all ages develop critical thinking skills, self-confidence, and respect for others that will help them to grow into responsible and compassionate adults.

Join us for a special clay workshop!  Students will learn about the world around them using Sculpey and air dry clay.  Students will use their hands as well as a number of tools to create a clay tile and a candle votive with colorful clay, wire and beads.  They will be exposed to elements and principles of design such as shape, form, repetition, color and texture.  

Spend quality time with your little one and leave the rest to us!  Work together with different materials each week and bring the masterpieces home for display.  Wear clothes that can get messy!  Parent & Child class.

Grab you whole family and join KidzArt for a fun family painting event.  Everyone will create their own painting of a fox surrounded by a floral wreath on a 11 x 14" stretched canvas.  Enjoy a cupcake dessert while we wait for our paintings to dry.  Ages 4+

Come join our instructor, singer/songwriter Kyle Gray Young, for a wonderful and fresh approach to beginner Guitar or Piano. It is best if the students have no prior experience with guitar or piano. Over the 8 week course, students will work their way up a belt system to achieve new skills and set new goals. By the end, students will know how to play dozens of fun and familiar songs. Whether they continue to pursue guitar or piano or try another instrument in the future, the basic concepts of music that they learn in this course will give them the fundamental building blocks for a lifetime of musical enjoyment and appreciation. All students must have their own guitar prior to the beginning of the session.
