Ensemble Connect School Partnerships
Ensemble Connect partners with 14 New York City public schools across the five boroughs. Each fellow is paired with an instrumental music teacher for a residency that includes 25 days throughout the course of the year. Fellows serve as musical resources and bring mastery of their instruments, as well as a professional performer’s perspective, to music classrooms. They work in collaboration with their partner teachers to strengthen students’ musical skills through a tailored and creativity-rich approach.
