Sound Tracks & Sound Tracks Plus

Sound Tracks and Sound Tracks Plus are in-school music education programs designed to empower students with little or no music education. These programs introduce students to global cultures through the exploration of world and new art music.

Curriculum:

During Sound Tracks, 4th and 5th grade students receive six workshops comprised of lectures, video presentations, and live performances. An enhanced music appreciation program, it provides concepts, technology, and tools for teachers to expand upon their schools’ existing social studies and arts programs.

Sound Tracks Plus is an advanced, 100% participatory program for 5th and 6th graders who learn to make music using drums, percussion, traditional dance, and song. At the end of their five workshops, the students demonstrate their skills through a final performance with Fulcrum Point musicians.

Evaluation:

The program is evaluated each year by reviewing pre and post-program quizzes, written essays by the students, comprehensive rubrics provided by the teaching artists, and guidance from our Sound Tracks Advisory Board.

• Sound Tracks: 6 in-class visits from Fulcrum Point teaching artists
