Mentorship and Peer Collaboration at MusikSak
Gabriella and Rebecca de Carvalho e Silva Fuglsig, Cofounders, MusicSak
MusikSak is a socially motivated string orchestra program based in Aarhus, Denmark. Both cellists, we founded the program in early 2015 after visiting El Sistema in Venezuela in 2013 and volunteering in two different programs (Oficina dos Sonhos and Atitude Cooperação) in Natal, Brazil in 2014.
Meludia in Action
Sean Elligers, Teaching Artist, Berkshire Children and Families’ Kids 4 Harmony (K4H)
How to teach children music theory, composition, and technology? Many El Sistema programs are exploring this important question. At our Sistema-inspired program in Pittsfield and North Adams, MA, students study music theory fundamentals and regularly compose music that is performed by their classmates.
