In Thailand, an International Partnership Opens New Pathways

Thomas Duncan, Chief Programs Officer, Playing For Change Foundation

07-09-2025

With their decades of positive impact and wealth of institutional knowledge, it would have been easy for DWS to focus on maintaining their success. Instead, we at the Playing For Change Foundation were recently privileged to partner with DWS to bolster and expand their music program. The initial goals of our partnership were simple: identify and hire professional music educators who can help take the existing program to the next level, and maintain the standard of excellence that DWS has achieved in its other extracurricular programming.

Reggae Roots at Sistema Toronto – Jane Finch

Kelsy Vivash, Marketing & Communications Manager, Sistema Toronto

06-04-2025

Working in this field has shown us how a diverse, inclusive curriculum can activate a student’s passion and sense of self. At Sistema Toronto, our goal is to have repertoires that represent our students and the communities they live in. With that in mind, Sistema Toronto invited Juno-nominated reggae artist Jah’Mila to work with students at our Jane Finch Centre this March as part of a months-long exploration of reggae music titled Reggae Roots. Our students spent January and February preparing for three days of workshops led by Jah’Mila and a culminating concert.

In Chicago, One Piece of Music Brings a City Together

Christine Taylor Conda, Executive Director of Education & Community Engagement, Ravinia Festival

06-04-2025

During the two magical years I spent in Jamaica as a child, my aunt would visit our house every Thursday evening after work. I remember our family spending dinnertime on orange pleather cushions, listening to broadcaster Leonie Forbes recite poetry on the radio as classical music played in the background. That dinner table is where I first fell in love with Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, and my family still talks about those Thursday nights we spent together.

Now, as Ravinia searches for inventive ways to reinvigorate interest in great musical works, those Thursday evenings come to mind.

Measuring Your Program’s Results: A Practical Framework for Insight

Graciela Briceno, Senior Education Advisor, USAID; Education Development Consultant; Music Teacher

06-04-2025

Ask any director of a music for social impact program about the program’s mission and goals, and you will receive an impassioned response about helping children, teaching music, inspiring minds, saving lives, building community, and developing social-emotional skills. There is clarity in what we all aim to achieve, built on a vision of happy students and families, beautiful music coming from every corner of a school, and meaningful stories of positively impacting children’s lives. Our vision includes accolades from school leaders or even government officials and others who are inspired by this work.

But how do we know whether we’re actually achieving these goals?

GUEST PERSPECTIVE
The Courage to Create: Helping Students Sing through Fear

Meagan Mayne, Founder, Meagan Mayne Voice Studio

06-04-2025

Singing (really, any artistic act) is an act of vulnerability. Your voice is you—your breath, your body, your emotions, your story. When you sing, you offer all of that up; even after a lifetime of performing, I still feel that fear when I step on stage.

If performing can be scary for us educators, how much scarier must it be for teen students still discovering their identity—for whom “fitting in” can feel like the most important thing?

The Arts of Dream Begin with Children’s Dreams

Kim Kibun, actor and arts educator

06-04-2025

In both Korean and English, the word dream carries layered meanings. It can refer, first, to the images and sensations we experience during sleep; second, to the hopes and ideals we wish to realize; and third, to a fleeting illusion or unrealistic fantasy.

When I was designing the framework for the Theater of Dreams last year, I leaned into the second meaning—the kind of dream filled with high ideals.

Agentes del cambio

Loukia Lazarou, artista docente y directora de proyectos, Sistema Chipre

05-07-2025

La idea de acoger a voluntarios tenía dos propósitos: por un lado, el personal adicional sería una ayuda inmensa para nuestra organización y, por otro, proporcionarían a nuestros estudiantes jóvenes modelos de conducta, especialmente importantes para los que proceden de entornos vulnerables. Queríamos crear una estructura que fomentara el liderazgo, la responsabilidad social y el intercambio cultural, tanto para los jóvenes de nuestra orquesta como para los voluntarios.

La Iniciativa Reina del Paraíso: Una experiencia que cambia la vida en Vanimo, Papúa Nueva Guinea

Dane Madrigal, compositor, director de orquesta y pedagogo musical

05-07-2025

Una de las experiencias más memorables de mi estancia en Vanimo fue ayudar a los estudiantes a preparar la música para una ocasión verdaderamente especial: la visita, el pasado agosto, del Papa Francisco. Con solo tres semanas para prepararse, los estudiantes fueron capaces de montar tanto un concierto completamente grabado para el Santo Padre como algunas piezas en directo para su visita a los Padres del IVE en Baro.

Encuentro Regional de la Costa Oeste de El Sistema USA 2025

Patrick Scafidi, Editor Ejecutivo, The Ensemble

05-07-2025

En este tipo de actos, es fácil pensar que la palabra "comunidad" se refiere a las personas que hay en la sala. Pero el ingenioso truco de El Sistema USA fue invertir esa idea. En lugar de celebrar nuestra En lugar de celebrar nuestra comunidad profesional -los vínculos que establecemos con nuestros colegas-, el equipo directivo de ESUSA exploró los lazos que nos unen a comunidades más amplias y diversas: de familias, de activistas, de científicos, de legisladores y de la gente a la que los legisladores tienden a ignorar.

Entre la tradición y la innovación: Reimaginar la formación del profesorado en NEOJIBA

José Henrique de Campos, Director Educativo, NEOJIBA

05-07-2025

Al intentar renovar una iniciativa que existe desde hace casi una década, nuestro gran reto es encontrar ese equilibrio preciso entre valorar la tradición y proponer algo nuevo. En NEOJIBA Núcleos Estatales de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Bahía, este equilibrio es fundamental para nuestra búsqueda continua de mejora: alabar lo que ya funciona, reconocer lo que se puede mejorar y tener la tranquilidad de sugerir algo innovador sin perder la esencia de una idea.

Fue con este espíritu que en 2023, en una tarde soleada durante el "eterno verano" de Bahía, comenzamos a rediseñar el PROCEC, nuestro programa colectivo de formación de profesores.
