| Summary: | Many music educators are familiar with culturally sensitive practices and techniques used to nurture diverse learners from diverse cultures - practices that support authentic multicultural learning in the classroom. Using these ideas as a foundation, in Los Angeles an entire K-2 multicultural curriculum has been built around a single piece of orchestral repertoire - Sibelius's Finlandia, a symphonic tone poem. Through the Los Angeles Philharmonic's educational initiatives, teaching artists Emily Kubitskey and Nikki Shorts use the curriculum to celebrate different cultures around the globe, as well as in Los Angeles. The culmination is a powerful Neighborhood Project Day Concert, which brings together more than two thousand elementary-school singers and student musicians from Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), who all have been studying Finlandia. This event takes community building to a new level of inclusivity. Students learn that through music, they can create a memorable experience they all share. About the series: A professional development resource for P-5 music educators; 8 30-minute video programs, plus overview; course guide; online interactives; and website. The Power of Music is designed to help pre-K through fifth-grade music educators integrate into their practice effective teaching strategies used in El Sistema-inspired programs. The video series features teaching artists across the country committed to providing music-making opportunities to children who otherwise might not have them. Incorporating their own ideas, experiences, and pedagogical expertise, these music educators have adapted and created innovative teaching strategies to nurture a special kind of musical citizenship in their students. Produced by WNET Thirteen, 2014. |
