The Accelerating the Arts programs are designed to expose K-12 students to a variety of artistic genres during their scheduled class time. They will follow NYC Department of Education Standards while also following the current curriculum (if applicable to the school) and/or the teaching artists’ own curriculum (if the school does not have an ongoing program). Most of the teaching artists selected will have experience teaching, or be current college or graduate students that are currently enrolled in arts programs at QC, while some are already professionals in their respective fields. These programs will encompass 4, 6 or 8 week residencies, depending on the availability of the schools and limitations of the budgets involved. Most residencies will have a culminating concert for family and the school community to attend when complete.

MUSIC

 Bach to School:

The goal of the Bach to School program is to introduce elementary school students to hearing live classical music during the day in their own schools.

 

CREATIVE WRITING, THEATER, AND DANCE:

Storytelling with Props and Movement 

Storytelling helps children learn about themselves and one another. During the course of this residency, the students will work collaboratively to create an original story that they can perform using creative movement and visual art elements.

Spoken Word/Poetry

Explore the concepts of feelings, identity, and culture through the use of performance and poetry. The spoken word art form helps students develop confidence and a sense of self while strengthening their academic literary skills.
