Music Workshop

MUSIC WORKSHOP'S MISSION IS TO EDUCATE, INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE K-8 STUDENTS THROUGH RELEVANT AND CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE MUSIC EDUCATION. MUSIC WORKSHOP CREATES AND PROVIDES AN INNOVATIVE ONLINE K-8 MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT ANY SCHOOL CAN ACCESS AND TEACH REGARDLESS OF THEIR MEANS, LOCATION OR TEACHER EXPERTISE. OUR PROGRAM IS PREDICATED ON THE 'OPEN EDUCATION' CONCEPT: A GLOBAL MOVEMENT THAT BRINGS HIGH QUALITY ONLINE EDUCATION TO SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS EVERYWHERE, FREE-OF-CHARGE. BY PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS DIRECTLY TO SCHOOLS/STUDENTS, MUSIC WORKSHOP GIVES TEACHERS THE NECESSARY MUSIC EDUCATION RESOURCES TO ENHANCE THEIR OWN CURRICULUM. MUSIC WORKSHOP RECOGNIZED THAT MUSIC EDUCATION IS OFTEN FOCUSED ON MUSIC FROM EUROPEAN CULTURES. IN RESPONSE, WE LAUNCHED OUR CULTURE SERIES AND IN THE LAST 36 MONTHS, CREATED 7 NEW COURSES, NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC; LATIN AMERICAN & CARIBBEAN MUSIC; LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC; SOUTH AMERICAN AND TRADITIONAL MUSIC FROM THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA
