For Elementary Schools
Are you looking for an engaging, interactive assembly that helps your kids achieve their SEL and bullying prevention objectives? Power poses, instrument playing, and affirmations that promote a growth mentality and boost self-esteem are all part of our energetic musical performance.We provide kids lots of chances to become involved! Make a lasting impression while letting their wiggles out with music, movement, and purposeful learning.
Confident Concerts helps create a community of Upstanders with our elementary school assembly and keep them involved throughout the entire process to cultivate a culture of compassion and perseverance at your school. Through music, dance, and thinking techniques, we meet students where they are and assist them in regaining their confidence following bullying and avoiding recurrence. In order to develop resilience, students learn how to normalize unpleasant ideas, reframe self-talk, and acquire mental health tools.

“I was blown away. The messages that she offered so authentically were beautiful. The idea that kids should be reaching out to be themselves and it’s okay to be themselves, capitalizing on a growth mindset and failing forward was beautiful. And I just adore the way that Caley put herself out there to students. And the way that she jammed at the end was amazing. The energy was beautiful.” Lynn Renter, Middle School Counselor, Summit Middle School
“Caley came to our elementary school and rocked it! She had the kids up moving and dancing, and she engaged them in questions that sparked their confidence! We loved having Confident Concerts/Music with a Message at our school to support our school’s goals of social and emotional growth.” -Jen Hurley, Parent & PTA Cultural Arts Chair, Santa Fe Trail Elementary
“Caley, the founder of Confident Concerts/Music with a Message, shared her experiences with bullying, discussed self-esteem and confidence, and encouraged students to use their affirmation capes. Students had such a great time singing and dancing to Music with A Message’s original songs, and some of our students had the opportunity to join Caley on stage to perform with instruments. The performance material also focused on the harmful effects of bullying; how to have the confidence to stand up for yourself; positive self-talk when you make mistakes; and the barriers associated with putting others on a pedestal. We felt so fortunate to have Music with a Message impart words of wisdom on to our students and I believe the social emotional messages from her performance are vital for students to hear as they mature into adolescence. Caley even provided follow-up material for our students to review the following day.” – Jacqueline Le, School Counselor, BASIS Schools, NY, NY
“We were so happy to have Caley here presenting to our students today. I know that right now, young people struggle a lot with just negative self talk and a lot of pressure for just expectations on themselves and their lives and who they are. And her message really resonated about how she was able to push through some of that self doubt and her own struggles. And I think her message was really inspirational for our students to keep pushing through the tough times and being nicer to themselves and not worrying about what other people think. And I think that’s such a critical message for our young people to hear right now.”- Lili Adeli, Headmaster, Boulder Prep High School
“It was an amazing experience! I loved the look on the kids’ faces. It was very interactive. They sang, they danced, they stood up and cheered.” Middle school teacher, BASIS Schools, NY, NY
“It was great! The kids loved it, and it was a great opportunity for bullying.”- Elementary School Teacher, CO

“We had Caley Rose here at our show in NYC, and oh my gosh, She blew us away! Not only was her music just absolutely incredible, but it started playing, and everyone in our audience rose to their feet: kids, adults… She was like Taylor Swift! It was like a Taylor Swift concert! Her music is so empowering and enriching…Caley Rose and her music has an awesome message. She’s an awesome human being, with an incredible talent to reach through to kids. Her messages are helping kids and helping with self esteem and social emotional issues that kids are facing. Music is THE BEST way to reach people, and I think Caley Rose is doing it. I would definitely take her back in a heartbeat here at our show in New York City!” – Nikki Casseri, Maestro’s Magical Music Box, NY, NY
“We brought Caley Rose in for our show here in New York City as a guest artist and she knocked it out of the park. She was amazing. The kids were up and dancing. They were totally engaged. The songs were so catchy. She’s just so talented. Original music out the wazoo and also the messages of the songs are just so empowering and it built up my confidence just listening to them. I cannot recommend Caley Rose enough. She is the best for kiddos and adults too.”- Brandon Maestro’s Magical Music Box, New York, New York
“Caley has a contagious spirit. She is easy to talk to and her positive message, through music, will fit perfectly with your school’s leadership program. Her program was engaging and professional. She is a great speaker and entertainer. I would recommend Caley Rose if you want something fun and new to motivate kids at your school.” – Max Hasselquist, Prairie Center Elementary, Olathe, KS
“We had the joy of having Caley Rose come in and perform for us. The kids had so much fun. She was so engaging and they really enjoyed the performance!”
-Alexis Leist, Director, Garden of Angels, Santa Monica, CA
“We had a wonderful time with the music today. Positive messages, the kids got some good confidence and energy dancing and an overall positive experience with groovy music. We really appreciate it.” Andrea, Kindergarten Teacher, Garden of Angels, Santa Monica, CA
“I’m sitting here listening to the call today (for the 2nd day in a row) as I’m working in the same space as Dominic. I just wanted to let you know I’m amazed and taken back by the quality conversations you have designed for the kids this week. From internet safety, to the music and art direction, to the entrepreneur conversations, and even to the small comments like “the power of silence” I just heard a few minutes ago in the call… I’m truly appreciative to you and all the contributors for this week.”- Parent, Discovery Kids’ Camp
“Caley’s program brings a powerful, energetic, relevant message to students of all ages that sticks with them beyond her time spent with them. I had the privilege to bring Caley to my building for an hour-long assembly this past October. Caley is REAL, RELATABLE, and beyond TALENTED. All 400 students were engaged, answering questions, having hard conversations, and learning positive self-advocacy techniques. They left the assembly singing her songs. I heard from numerous parents, teachers, and even community members that students were practicing what they learned at home. I hear kids singing “Stand-up” and “Fireproof” in the halls. I know that is the power of music; however, so much of what kids hear outside of school is negative, leaving students with a message of self- doubt, “I’m not good enough,” “I can’t do this,” etc. When I hear them singing Caley’s message, I know that the positive impact of music is working deeper! Your community, young and old, will all benefit from hearing and seeing Confident Concerts/Music with a Message. It’s a fun, energetic, engaging concert with the most vital lesson we can be teaching our youth: believe in yourself, you can do hard things, and I am enough! I know you’ll love your experience through Music with a Message.” – Christa Morrison, Music Teacher, KS
“Caley immediately made a connection with my 7th graders …Long after the performance concluded, students were engaged in self affirming dialogue using Ms. Rose’s music as a catalyst for meaningful discussion. I highly recommend that school systems considering hosting artists for character education and/ or self esteem building programs contact Ms. Rose and her ‘Music with a Message.’ In the immortal words of Hans Christian Andersen, ‘Where words fail, music speaks.'”-Jan Lauro, Choral & Drama Director, Charlotte Mecklenburg Middle School
