Meet Carnegie Hall’s Teaching Artists
Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute serves more than 800,000 people each year across New York City, the US, and around the globe through programs and partnerships in schools, community centers, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, and in partnership with orchestras and arts organizations to support music learning at all levels. Carnegie Hall teams up with a diverse roster of talented professional artists who lead many of the program activities in New York, connecting directly with participants and building relationships through the power of music. Each year, more than 50 teaching artists bring their valuable expertise and skill sets to communities, families, and teachers. Teaching artists also receive professional development training and support from Carnegie Hall in order to share their experiences and best practices most effectively.
