Music
The impact of music and the arts on health, society, and culture are numerous and well documented. During a time of social isolation, equipping educators, students, and individuals with accessible technology for real-time remote music and art provides a means for empowering cultural change and promoting social justice. By hosting a series of free online workshops and seminars, we formed a community of educators working towards expanding diversity, equity, and inclusion using remote technology and creative practices. As in-person teaching resumes, we can continue working towards our goals through co-located concerts and exhibitions between classrooms worldwide.
