Kara Hildreth of Thisweek Newspapers reports:

Just like his band's classic rock tunes "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion" elicit energy and excitement from fans, a surprise visit to a Farmington elementary school gave one famous rock star rave reviews.

The legendary lead vocalist Steven Tyler from the popular rock band AEROSMITH made a surprise visit to Akin Road Elementary School on Dec. 8. Tyler shared in some music therapy with some students and surely gave many teachers and fans a thrill.

Teachers and staff can now say they hold lasting memories of an encounter with Tyler, famous for belting out tunes in his distinct, loud and clear voice that hints at his rebellious nature.

That day the only detail that staff knew was that someone was coming to work with the kids in music therapy, according to Ben Januschka, principal at Akin Road Elementary School.

One colleague in the building had an association with the legendary rock band and which is why Tyler came to surprise staff and students.

Tyler, 59, came into the school building around 2 p.m. to bring an early Christmas surprise to a few adoring teachers and Januschka.

"He was fascinating, just watching him interact with the kids," Januschka said. "He was so natural with them, and they all responded so well."
