Performing Arts, Music

Curriculum, Language Arts/English, Social Studies/History, Standards

In 2 sessions, we debunk the popular myth that classical music is “old and boring.” Exploring music written since 1950 through the present, we discover the fresh, exciting, and outrageous sounds of what classical music really is. By introducing students to today's music, rather than the classics of 200 years ago, we swing open a backdoor of interest that can lead to a greater respect and understanding of the classical Greats. Composers discussed range from experimenters John Cage and Karl Stockhausen to pop artists Björk and Radiohead. This program is part of Virtual Music Studio.

A Manhattan School of Music teaching artist will lead an interactive discussion.

A 2-session exploration into what defines music to be classical or to be pop. With live and recorded examples, we compare the two styles, discuss historical contexts, and discover how the two are one of the same language. Activities include analyzing texts from both styles and discussing how the music speaks for itself. Using the music of Hip-Hop and Rock, we expand on the students' ability to relate to the music of Mozart, Schubert, and others. This program is part of Virtual Music Studio.
