MUSICWORKS brings interactive arts education into the lives of creative students. We act locally and globally to engage the artistic potential, and cultivate meaningful relationships between students and professional performers. By using music as a method to address universal issues of communication, diversity and tolerance, literacy, and socio-emotional well-being, we capitalize on the curiosity of all students, and break down the barriers between artists and audiences. Our workshops can be extended to weekly or monthly residencies and after-school programs, and Musicworks teaching artists welcome the opportunity to collaborate with classroom teachers' curriculum in order to guide students through the process of applying arts to everyday life. Please visit the REMOTE RESOURCES section of our website, designed to keep in contact with ALL of our students during the Covid19 pandemic.

MW #338: "Somewhere/Things are Gonna Get Easier"
One mark of a good song is its ability to remain relevant to both the time of its inception as well as generations of history to come. Enter both Leonard Bernstein's "Somewhere" from West Side Story and the Five Stairsteps' "Ooh-Child." Multiplied by artists like Dionne Warwick and Nina Simone and their skill and perspective, these songs--like many others--speak not only to the changes of their original eras (50+ years ago), but also beautifully (and incredulously!!!) highlight the volatility of our current struggles around social and racial justice, on this day, the 4th of July.
