SAMPLE PROGRAMS

Music Mix

The aim of Music Mix is to provide exceptional artistry in the form of concerts and interactive educational workshops that show the synergy between various musical genres and provide professional insight into business of music.

The Open MIC (Music Industry Connections) Project

The Open MIC Project was created to provide young people with an opportunity to learn about various aspects of the music industry from professionals in the field. The core of the project is the creative process (composition, songwriting, performance and improvisation). Using this as a jumping off point, students are connected to the industry through direct contact with and observation of working professionals.

Composition in the Classroom

The Planet Arts Composition and Songwriting workshop is a "standards" based  journey into the world of music. The basic elements of music are introduced and immediately utilized in such a way that student’s of all ages are able to create original compositions. By exploring the relationship of words to music the Planet Arts Workshop embraces curriculum integration, promotes literacy and provides a connection between music and a variety of subject matter pertinent to the student, teacher and school.

Crossing Paths

Crossing Paths is a cultural exchange project with the goal of establishing and sustaining artistic relationships with artists, educators, students and institutions from various parts of the world. The aim is to construct creative bridges which will: allow for a unique exchange of ideas and methods, explore music from other cultures, expand the American music vocabulary, create new work, harmonize music and rhythm from other cultures with regional concepts of American music. The global fusion will display classic American music interacting with its world counterparts providing a unique opportunity for artists, educators and students to further understand the origins and depth of the creative process.
