Please join us at an All Access Pass tour to learn more about our work towards educational and cultural inclusion in the arts. We are hosting tours of VSA Massachusetts as a way to bring our mission to a wider audience. The tour takes no more than one hour. You'll hear a welcome from board and staff members and then take a guided tour of our work. We'll share some inspiring stories about how the arts transform our communities and create opportunities for inclusion.
Upcoming tour dates:
Thursday, January 9, 2014 5:45pm - 6:45pm
Wednesday, February 5, 2014 12:00pm - 1:00pm

in Education
I teach creativity and self-confidence.
In the twentieth century, we need innovators, entrepreneurs and inventors and there is no better place than the arts to practice creative thinking and intellectual risk-taking. In my work I set up many different entrance and exit points so students of all abilities and interests can feel challenged but successful. Through music composition students learn how to analyze, organize, edit and critique their own ideas, as well as express their emotions.
My aim is for our project to support and enrich your curriculum goals. I am a collaborative and organized teacher. I like to develop a joint plan, so all students and teachers have a clear sense of purpose and direction, but meet often so that we can be flexible in addressing student and teacher needs.
My work centers around two kinds of audio projects that can be modified to fit your curriculum. Both projects use the software GarageBand but no previous knowledge of music or GarageBand is needed to participate.

The health and population of wild cats teaches us about the entire animal
kingdom. Watch these cats, and learn about each species, where it is native to,
and how its wild cousins survive.
