Insights

Accessible Resources

Our UDL-inspired music curriculum is effective for students with a wider range of backgrounds and learning styles (visual learners, auditory learners, those with learning disabilities) as compared to traditional models that require sight-reading notation and pre-requisite knowledge for instrumental performance.

Standards-Based Curriculum

Our research-based pedagogy aligns with national standards and engages students in multiple modalities:
‍
1) self-led exploration and challenge-by-choice,
2) sequential, scaffolded skill-building and creative practices, and
3) peer collaboration and sharing that builds pro-social involvement.

Music Bridge teaching artists live and work in the communities served, and act as positive role models and community leaders for their students.
