Arts for Learning

Arts for Learning engages children with the arts by bringing teaching artists into schools and communities. We believe in the arts and their ability to transform education. We believe that when learning is enriched with the arts, students get more out of school.

Arts for Learning offers programs in various forms – including performances, hands-on workshops, and in-depth residencies. Our programs connect the arts with the curriculum to supplement learning.

Our programs occur wherever learning takes place, including afterschool programs, libraries, community centers, juvenile detention facilities, and hospitals.

Design Your Own Instrument by Dianna Davis

Program description

Through studying the inside of the accordion and understanding how it’s made, students will begin to pose questions, make observations as to how a musical instrument is designed effects the sound it makes and how the sounds are made. Students will then develop a physical model of their own instrument to investigate how the shape of their design affects its music-making capabilities.
