The award-winning Voices Within is an artist residency program for fifth grade students who learn to use their imagination to compose words and melodies to create and perform their own original songs. The program curriculum fully integrates Common Core State Standards and uses immersive strategies to deeply engage the students. Three Voices Within teaching artists (a composer, a lyricist, and a performer), work with students, combining elements of music composition, writing, improvisational games, and collaboration techniques throughout a 10-week residency.
Working in close partnership with teachers and administrators at participating schools, the Voices Within teaching artists foster a safe, supportive environment for the students and mentor them to boost 21st Century Skills such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, and communication. The Voices Within program motivates students to stay in school and have fun while learning.
Voices Within is an educational artist residency program developed for the Los Angeles Master Chorale by Marnie Mosiman, in collaboration with Bernardo Solano, Penka Kouneva, David O, and Doug Cooney.
