PlayUSA
Student Empowerment in Music Learning
Karen Cueva, Manager of Learning & Engagement Programs at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute
Students as leaders. Increasingly, teaching artists in U.S. Sistema-inspired programs have been thinking about this important idea.
In February, a group of music teaching artists and program directors came together for a PlayUSA workshop on “Empowering Students to Lead.” PlayUSA is an initiative of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute that supports quality instrumental instruction reaching young musicians in local communities across the country. The workshop brought together faculty from 13 PlayUSA grantee organizations, including Sistema programs and other instrumental music education organizations, to focus on student agency in musical learning.
