Unit 1 provides an introduction to El Sistema, its history, and its core principles. Founded in 1975 by Dr. José Antonio Abreu in Venezuela, El Sistema has been described as a movement of music education for social change. Ideas of community and citizenship are central to El Sistema-inspired teaching and learning, which has been taking hold in programs across the United States. In New York City, a seminario - a common event in Venezuela - brings together children of diverse ages and musical levels to rehearse and perform with members of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela. In a low-income New Jersey community where opportunities for instrumental music education are scarce, the Union City Music Project has been built on the philosophical and pedagogical foundations of El Sistema. From day one, preschoolers develop pre-orchestra skills as part of an ensemble - a musical community. Parents are intimately involved in the process of building paper violins with their children. 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.
