Learning In Concert Programs
Learning in Concert creates innovative, customized Concept-Based Arts Integration educational programming for orchestras and other musical organizations. While we offer many existing programs from which to choose, Learning In Concert is really an educational design process more than a specific program. We can design customized programming to utilize any existing community engagement activity in which an organization engages to create integrated, transformative educational outreach programs. We can also help organizations design and implement coherent, integrated expansion plans for their educational programs.
Our programs make music the common denominator in understanding concepts that are authentically shared between music and other school subjects. By exploring concepts across domains, students are given opportunities to move beyond isolated facts within each subject to develop and demonstrate deeper, connected understandings.
Included in each program are concert scripts, musical arrangements, curriculum and media, and classroom activity materials.
Below are sample Learning in Concert concepts. Please feel free to ask us questions about these or any other program you may have in mind.
