Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Music at the Mission will deliver Artist Residencies with strong standards-based music curriculum at 2 Fremont schools for the second year. Residencies empower students to use the universal language of music to express their unique voices. Students learn classical composition techniques, are mentored while creating a group work, get coached on ensemble playing, rehearse, and perform their work side-by-side with Teaching Artists at a school concert.
