Our partnership with the Melvin H. King is more than music. Boston Music Project classes are infused into ELA and Social Studies lessons allowing for deeper learning in core content areas, improved school attendance and classroom engagement, and increased confidence and creative expression. Below are highlights from a year of music-making from students across 2nd through 12th grade.
"Art. Music. and the rest is history" is a testament to the transformative power of integrating the art and education. This book showcases the remarkable student-produced art and music at the Melvin H. King School, created through a unique partnership with the Boston Music Project. By infusing music-making into ELA and Social Studies lessons, we see students reflect deeply on their core academic studies and express their understanding through original music and art.
With the guidance of our dedicated Boston Music Project teaching artists, students are not just passive learners but active creators. They dive into their academic subjects, emerging with a richer, more profound comprehension and a newfound confidence in their creative abilities. The synergy of music, art, and academic content brings a spirit of joy and magic to the classroom, making learning an engaging and fulfilling journey.
"Art. Music. and the rest is history" invites you to witness the incredible journey of our students and the beautiful synergy of education and creativity.
