E-mail Print

Gateway to the Arts provides Teacher Guides for our K-12 auditorium programs available to schools. Designed for use by classroom teachers and arts specialists alike, the guides include background information on the art form, ideas for pre-performance activities to prepare students for the auditorium program, curricular ties to applicable Pennsylvania Department of Education Academic Standards, post-performance activity and discussion suggestions to help students reflect on the program and apply what they learned into the classroom curriculum, and ideas for further exploration. For many of our programs, PDF versions of the Teacher Guides are available for download. Look for them with the program description.

    A Whirlwind of Collaboration

    Two densely-scheduled days this November marked the fruition of a collaborative project two years in the making, designed by Gateway to the Arts and the School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University. The goal was to assist the graduate chamber music ensembles at CMU in developing dynamic outreach programs for public school students grades K-12. Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, project coordinators Lisa Hoitsma of Gateway and Dr. Natalie Ozeas of CMU enlisted the expertise of the Grammy-nominated African-American woodwind quintet, Imani Winds, known world-wide for their high-quality outreach programming that focuses on excellent musicianship, audience participation and repertoire.
