Museum Operations: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has established itself as the pre-eminent home for the celebration and study of rock and roll. It is a world-class museum and library & archives that educates its visitors about the history of rock and roll, from its roots to the present, and about rock and roll's impact on our culture and society. It accomplishes all of this with seven floors of exhibits featuring thousands of historic artifacts, as well as numerous films and interactive exhibits. During 2011, a major renovation to the Museum's permanent exhibits took place, resulting in the telling of the story in a more chronological order. In addition to the permanent exhibits, the Hall of Fame curates several new temporary exhibits each year which focus on individual artists, various genres of music or important anniversaries of historic events. In 2011, the temporary exhibits featured Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power; Otis Redding; a photography exhibit entitled Girls on Film: 40 Years of Women in Rock featuring the work of Anastasia Pantsios; and a photograpy exhibit commemorating the 16th anniversary of American Music Masters. Further, the Museum hosted five community festivals celebrating the heritage of various ethnic music, and produced several other music programs including Battle of the Corporate Bands and Summer in the City. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Library and Archives at Cuyahoga Community College will help the Museum fulfill its mission by making one-of-a-kind audio and video recordings, promotional materials, personal papers and business records of popular music's most influential figures accessible to the public for the first time. The Library and Archives will also enhance the Museum's education programs at the university level. Staff members moved into the 22,500-square-foot facility, and with the help of interns and volunteers, they are preparing the collection for the grand opening. The Museum has been collecting for the Library and Archives since the Museum opened in 1995.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES, FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4: The Museum's Education and Public Programs Division produces scores of activities and events each year that reinforce the Museum's commitment to the study and interpretation of rock and roll music and its roots. The content of these programs highlights not only the work of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, but also a broad spectrum of popular music ranging from the blues, country, and gospel of the early 1900s to the classic rock of the 1960s to the hip hop and pop sounds of today. These programs are presented in a variety of formats including interviews, performances, lectures, film screenings, master classes, conferences at venues both on- and off-site, and online. The following provides a chronological review of programs conducted in 2011, with their intended objective and estimated attendance in parentheses, as available. ONGOING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR: Toddler Rock is a nationally acclaimed music-based outreach/education program for underserved preschoolers, their parents, caregivers and teachers. It was created at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and implemented by board-certified music therapists. The program targets 3-5 year olds. The purpose is to promote positive interaction of children with their parents and teachers, and to increase the children's academic, social, communication and music skills through the structured use of music. A major goal of the program is to enhance the pre-academic skills that have been shown to be most indicative of later success in school, including letter recognition, rhyming and alliteration, all important for the acquisition of reading skills. Eleven concurrent classes convene one hour each day (Tuesdays and Thursdays.) The program averages 340 students in the two hours per week times 30 weeks. The fiscal year equals 3 ten week sessions, fall, winter and spring. (Objective: involving the community with the Museum and utilizing rock and roll to improve literacy for at-risk children.) Rockin' the Schools brings students from Northeast Ohio and beyond into the Museum for a one-hour educational class on the history of rock and roll. The program teaches students how music has played a role in some of the most important social, cultural, and political issues in modern history. Teachers can choose from a set of classes on topics such as the roots of rock and roll, music as a social force, the science of sound, music and the language arts, hip-hop culture, and many more. The program is offered four days a week, January through June and October through December. (Objective: education and interpretation of rock and roll and its history. In 2011, 17,388 students and chaperones participated in the program.) On the Road uses dynamic videoconferencing to explore the history of rock and roll. Interactive classes are taught in real time and use the Museum's extensive educational resources to engage students in their own classrooms. These interdisciplinary classes, taught by Rock Hall educators, include exclusive interview clips with key figures in rock and roll history, behind-the-scenes commentary by Museum educators, audio and videos clips of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and more. The program is offered daily on-demand throughout the entire year. In 2011, the Rock Hall was awarded the Teachers Choice Award for the Best Content Provider (fourth consecutive year) in the Best Music and Performing Arts Museum category as well as Honorable Mention for the 2010-2011 CILC Pinnacle Award from the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC), which recognizes outstanding performance by a content provider. (Objective: education and interpretation of rock and roll and its history. In 2011, the Museum made 252 connections, teaching approx. 8,000 students, the best calendar year ever for this program.) "From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits" gives Rock Hall audiences an inside look at aspects of the music business that are often concealed from view. For those who wonder how songs become recordings, how recordings become hits, or how the show gets on the road, this series offers both answers and anecdotes beyond imagination. The series is held on the third Wednesday of most months and, where noted, are streamed live on the internet. Unless otherwise noted, all interviews were conducted by Dr. Lauren Onkey, Vice President of Education and Public Programs or Dr. Jason Hanley, Director of Education. Rock and Roll Night School is a series of educational, discussion-based night classes offered free of charge from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of most months and, where noted, are streamed live on the internet. Unless otherwise noted, members of the education department staff led the classes, which are geared towards adults interested in gaining more knowledge about rock and roll history. The program explores the history of rock and roll, from its roots to its current incarnations. Teachers Rock is a quarterly professional development workshop series for K-12 level teachers and school administrators interested in integrating popular music into core-curriculum teaching. Each spotlights a specific grade band or content area by exploring great moments in rock and roll history and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees who made those moments happen. Educators learn how to use appropriate arts-integrated activities and instructional methods and receive featured lessons and resources for use in their own classrooms. Education Programs Manager Stephanie Heriger led this program in 2011. University Teaching In the spring of 2011, Lauren Onkey, vice president of education and public programs, and Jason Hanley, director of education, and Kathryn Metz taught a course called Rock Goes Global: Music, Meaning and Movement in the SAGES program. This class met two times per week and 17 students were enrolled. In the fall of 2011, Lauren Onkey taught a course on Aretha Franklin in the Music department. This class met two times per week and eight students were enrolled. Both courses were taught at Case Western Reserve University. Star Rockers is a music-based program for mature seniors (from the inner city Goodrich-Gannett Neighborhood Center). Its goals are to engage seniors in creative music experiences that include composition, singing, dance/movement, introduction to technology, improvisation, lyric analysis, life review and reminiscence. Seniors are exposed to the history of rock and roll music through discussion, interactive media, exhibits, and artists at the museum. One hour sessions are held each week and are lead by board-certified music therapists. (Class size is 8-10 which reflects the number accommodated by the GGNC's van. This translates totals nearly 400 individual visits per year - based on an average of 8 people for 50 weeks). Survey data from the seniors shows an increase in their music skills and intellectual awareness, and attests to a positive sense of belonging, meaningful socialization, and a high level of enjoyment. (Objective: involving the community with the Museum.) JANUARY Friday, January 14, 2011 "From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits" with videographer Thom Zimny The program included a special screening of Darkness on the Edge of Town in the Museum's intimate Foster Theater and was followed by a discussion with Zimny about his career with Bruce Springsteen.

This marked the 10th straight year that the Museum offered FREE admission to the public. The festival featured an array of musical talent, including Grammy Award winning R&B and soul singer Chrisette Michele, as well as local performers Antioch Spiritual Arts Choir and the Terry Macklin Entertainment Experience. In 2011, the Rock Hall's Community Festivals were presented by Ohio Natural Gas and sponsored by KeyBank and Amtrak.
