What adds extra zip to lessons?  What ignites more engagement with academics?  
Arts in the Classroom!  Blending arts with academics will energize your learners. 

When we say ‘arts in the classroom,’ we’re talking about a process following the theory and practices of arts integration described by the Kennedy Center’s Arts Edge. To quote, “[We] begin with the assertion that arts integration is larger than an activity. Rather, arts integration is an approach to teaching that is embedded in one’s daily practice.”  Read  about the power of arts integration in this PDF file.

But wait – I already have too much to do! We know the massive amount of curriculum materials a teachers must consonantly apply.  We know the hundreds of things that pull on a teacher’s attention daily.  The last thing we’d want to to is give teachers one more thing to have to do.

With zero previous musical experience, teachers will immediately be ready to use rhythm in their classroom to energize and inspire learning. Our training makes it easy and our books give you the tools you need for years of rhythm games and activities for learning.
