"YCIW allows teachers to turn music composition pedagogy on its head: using the act of creation to reveal the theoretical concept instead of drilling theory in the hopes of sparking creativity.“

@alexruthmann shares the importance of developing music technology that allows creativity and co construction of the curriculum to occur. Collaboration and cooperation is key, partnerships with others to explore what works effectively in music education. #mistec18

During #ArtsAppreciationWeek, Nueva 4th graders had a special concert: Their original music compositions were performed by professional string ensemble @frictionquartet! The concert was the culmination of student work with @yciw. Listen to “Woodpeckers Dance” composed by Anna V.!
