Residencies
Residencies Designed to Capture Attention, Ignite Enthusiasm and Inspire Creativity
As with Music on the Trail, each residency interconnects music, multi-media, and experiential activities to provide a unified focus and holistic understanding of music and its place in the world. Students participate in a variety of activities such as singing, hands-on creating, composing, dancing, performing, and active listening. All residencies implement integrated curriculum from complementary disciplines to meet national standards.
Enter the “dark side” of classical genre masterworks! Integrated curriculum provides a global cultural and historical perspective as information surrounding each composer and his home country is introduced. (Target audience: Grades 3-5)
The Planetarium Palooza!

From here, more creativity is experienced through singing, dancing, painting, composing (music, poetry, and stories)…it’s a Planetarium Palooza! (Target audience: grades 3-5)
