Core Features of the Membership
Where music, history, and art converge.
Each lesson connects the dots between music, architecture, history, and art, showing how classical music organizes the complexities of human experience into majestic, cohesive cathedrals of sound. Students will learn the key musical contributions of each era and composer, while developing critical listening skills to recognize what makes each masterpiece unique.
Enter into the worlds of the composers through pencil, ink & paint.
Florence-based artist Elisabeth Waldstein and York-based artist Hannah Corkery guide students Grades 3+ through drawing significant pieces of architecture from the worlds of the composers. This unique element fuses together art, architecture, and music, allowing students to visually create the beauty they hear.
Breaking down complex music terms at the keys.
Through short videos at the piano, music educator Sadie Hoyt breaks down key musical concepts and terms. These bite-sized lessons strengthen musical understanding and deepen the listening experience for students at all levels.
Immerse yourself in the masterworks.
Membership playlists include the masterpieces covered in each lesson, along with additional works from the same period or composer. These playlists allow students to become immersed in the music of each month’s topic, building familiarity and recognition over time.
Activities for deeply listening and encountering each masterpiece.
Activities include coloring pages, drawing prompts, listening activities, and journaling guides designed to facilitate active listening, awaken wonder, spark creativity, and provide space for true catharsis.
