MusicAlive!

Using a direct instructional approach that connects everyday life to music, the MusicAlive program helps students improve perceptive listening, critical thinking and creative participation skills. Through practical application and integrated, standards-based content, the curriculum addresses national and state goals for social science, language arts, math and science. Participating students attend full semester, weekly sessions with teaching artists/mentors who reveal the connection between the arts and other disciplines through teaching and applying the fundamentals of music theory, cultural applications of music and music education techniques.
