Playing in the Same Key: Aligning Purpose and Practice for Students

03-04-2026

“What’s the biggest thing keeping you up at night, as a leader or as a teaching artist?”

When Nikoletta Polydorou, founder of Sistema Cyprus, recently posed this question to music-for-social-action leaders and teaching artists across different countries and contexts, one concern surfaced repeatedly: when a program’s purpose isn’t clear, and collectively owned, the learning is less focused and effective.

Young People Are Speaking To Us. Are We Close Enough to Hear Them?

12-03-2025

I’d been missing the presence and perspective of young people in these gatherings dedicated to arts education, young people’s wellbeing, and community health through the arts. When young people were present, it was most often as performers, and occasionally as panelists alongside adults.

Throughout these events, I had been wondering, “How is it that we continue to position young people as objects of conversation, and not the subject?”

Sitting in the Student Seat at AIM’s Fire Up Residency

10-01-2025

That first day, I felt like a teenager: somewhat defiant, hesitant to initiate, eager to observe, even mistrusting…but also wanting to chat, meet people, laugh, and share.

How can I contribute to making something that’s already great even better?

In Oregon, a More Neighborly Approach Brings Joy

09-03-2025

The majority of the population is in Portland, at the northern border, with most everybody else residing along the “I5 Corridor”—Interstate 5, a major north-south highway that runs from Portland to California. BRAVO serves a region at the very northern tip of Portland; JOY serves students in Yamhill County. North Portland is a diverse blue-collar area with shipyards, warehouses, and port terminals; Yamhill County is the heart of Oregon’s famed Willamette Valley, a region known best for its fabulous wineries. But while the county boasts fancy vineyards and tasting rooms, it is also filled with farms and the hardworking farmhands and families.

Just 46 miles apart, our landscapes could not be more different. And yet the work we do could not be more aligned.

03-05-2025

En el mundo de la educación artística, a menudo hablamos de la importancia de crear experiencias atractivas y transformadoras para los jóvenes. Sin embargo, el reto consiste en garantizar que estas experiencias conduzcan a un cambio positivo duradero. ¿Cómo pueden los artistas docentes no sólo fomentar la creatividad, sino también ayudar a los alumnos a crecer emocional y socialmente?

Transformar la vida de los jóvenes a través de la música: Lecciones de cinco años de impacto en el desarrollo creativo de la juventud

03-05-2025

La música tiene el poder de transformar vidas, fortalecer comunidades y cuestionar los sistemas que las conforman, pero ¿cómo es en realidad ese proceso transformador? Desde hace cinco años, el Premio Lewis de Música (TLPM) ha abordado esta cuestión apoyando a organizaciones que aprovechan el poder de la música para elevar y empoderar a los jóvenes.
