Philadelphia Eagles players Connor Barwin and Rodney McLeod recently stopped by an after school music program known as Rock To The Future to learn music lessons from students as well as to learn more about the program. The program provides free music education to underserved students in the Philly Area. Connor Barwin teamed up with 16-year-old student Alexus to learn about the piano, and Rodney McLeod tea med up with 16-year-old Jared to learn more about the drums. Connor Barwin stated "It's important to give kids a focus outside of school. Sports is a lot like music - you learn a lot about working with people and being in a band is like being on a team." Both students hope to one day pursue a career in music education.
