To many, the story of Bob Marley's life is one of a true modern day sage who remained committed to his vision of raising consciousness through music.
Ultimately, students take from this class a deeper understanding of Marley's life, of how to play reggae music, a greater understanding of the inner workings of great pop song writing, and a notion to think seriously, through Marley's example, about what it is they are saying with their own musical talents.
