American Harmony – This interactive concert engages students through exploration and active musical participation.

Our goal is to enrich the lives of children by exposing them to beautiful music. This original, interactive concert; the teacher’s study guide; and hands-on residency activities will engage your students through creative exploration and active musical participation. Developing your students’ natural musical competence will assist them in becoming successful hearers, and awaken their interest in the many ways music plays out in school learning and life.

Teaching artist, Katie Kresek, will work in classrooms to prepare students to successfully hear the marvelous pieces and thus feel the joy and revelation that makes people lifelong lovers of classical music. In the classroom, students are involved in musical activities that engage them in the artistic issues of each piece. Katie will work with up to 32 students per session and up to 4 sessions per day.
