Teach Me!
Teach Me! programs provide imaginative, engaging, sequential learning experiences for children ages 3–5 and their teachers. Students express themselves creatively and master basic academic and life skills in fun, developmentally appropriate ways through a series of four arts workshops led by Gateway’s professional teaching artists.
These mini-residencies provide professional development opportunities for teachers and can be customized to accomodate your center and the needs of your staff. Limited to 20 students, matching funds for the workshops may be available through our funding partners. Teach Me! mini-residencies are $350 each for locations within Allegheny County.

Children will discover the rhythm in music and in language as percussionist Jeff Berman guides them in expressing themselves by improvising rhythmic patterns and chants in the book Max Found Two Sticks by J. Brian Pinkney. Jeff is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who has performed internationally. He has a BS in Music from the City University of New York.
Come join the excitement as we explore movement with silly rhymes and songs and discover our sense of adventure while reading We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen, and other brilliant bear books! This story time sequence builds phonemic awareness, story retelling and prediction skills—and through dramatic play and music, encourages students to step into the stories and explore a bear’s world. Your guide, Rebecca Covert, is a singer, storyteller and actress in Pittsburgh who holds an MS in elementary education from Duquesne University.
In this music-filled residency, Amber Ramsey Fantini will explore the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Children love to hear this tale, and they will delight in a multitude of movement and musical activities that explore the world of the billy goats...and their neighbor the troll!! Children will practice emergent literacy skills through rhythmic chant, singing and movement. A former elementary music teacher, Amber has a Masters in French Horn Performance from Carnegie Mellon University.
