From Accommodation to Co-Creation: How Students Continue to Transform Our Approach to Adaptive Music Education

Erin Parkes, Founder/Executive Director, and Lyanne Fortin, Communications Manager, Lotus Centre for Special Music Education

11-05-2025

When Lotus Centre for Special Music Education opened its doors in Ottawa, Canada in 2012, we thought our mission was clear: provide access to high-quality music instruction for students with exceptionalities and disabilities who were being left out of traditional lessons. What we didn’t yet realize was that our students were about to become our greatest teachers, shifting our organization from a provider of services to a learning community shaped directly by their needs and strengths.

Can Young Children Learn to Identify Harmonic Progressions by Ear? Yes, They Can!

Dr. Eric Rasmussen, Chair, Early Childhood Music Department at Peabody Conservatory; educator, author, and researcher

09-03-2025

Unfortunately, many music teachers rely on a notation-first approach, teaching students to read music symbols before they have a strong foundation in listening, singing, and rhythmic chanting. Because we jumped the notation hurdle, often relying on math and puzzle-solving skills in addition to our propensity for learning music, we sometimes assume (incorrectly) that most children will have the same capacities.

The principles of MLT guided my teaching at OrchKids (the El Sistema-inspired program in Baltimore, MD, USA), and the results were extraordinary.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Music Moves Us Forward

Rene Byamungu, Workshop Leader in Musicians Without Borders’ partner program Kivu Youth Music, as told to The Ensemble

07-09-2025

In the North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the capital city of Goma sits between several mining towns and valuable minerals. Part of an active volcanic region rich in resources, the city serves as an essential transport hub for the nation—and, more importantly, as home to nearly 2 million people, many of whom have been displaced.

This past year, those 2 million have lived through extraordinarily difficult circumstances as the rebel group known as M23—the March 23 Movement—took control of the city. But perhaps none are more affected than the children. Over 2,000 schools in the region have been closed, with many thousands of students displaced and forced to witness the horrors of war, including the deaths of loved ones. As the fighting continues, these young people have been increasingly isolated and ignored, left without opportunities to connect with one another, explore their feelings, and celebrate joy.

And yet, as Workshop Leader Rene Byamungu writes, joy has persisted in North Kivu through music:

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.

Colaboración entre culturas y géneros en Santo Tomé y Príncipe y Guinea-Bissau

Eduardo Lála, Director y Coordinador Técnico-Pedagógico, Proyecto Rizoma

02-05-2025

Cuando el Proyecto Rizoma se puso en marcha en 2022 en Santo Tomé y Príncipe y Guinea-Bissau, sabía que nos embarcábamos en un viaje ambicioso. Nuestro objetivo era claro: crear orquestas sociales en comunidades con recursos limitados e importantes retos sociales.

Dos semanas, 13 conciertos, 22 músicos: Ghetto Classics All-Stars Tour Kenia

Joanna Priwieziencew, Directora de Ghetto Classics Dance, Nairobi, Kenia

02-05-2025

Nairobi, Kenia, noviembre de 2024.

Una pequeña habitación bordea el mayor vertedero de África oriental. El calor abrasa a través de los techos de hojalata mientras el polvo se levanta del suelo de cemento. Dentro, 20 músicos keniatas se concentran en el saxofonista belga Toine Thys: captan cada uno de sus gestos y expresiones, ansiosos por no perderse ni una nota. En la sección de batería, el batería y pedagogo canadiense Karl Jannuska pasa sus baquetas a un músico keniano y coge los shakers. Juntos, están a punto de esculpir el aire espeso con un ritmo de afrojazz.

También están a punto de embarcarse en su primera gira nacional.
