Mission Statement
Our mission is to use the power of music to inspire, educate, and connect children and communities. We envision a world in which all people have access to the transformative experience of making music together.
About This Cause
S’Cool Sounds (SCS) provides hands-on music instruction for K-12 children through classroom teaching, after-school programs, and community events. S’Cool Sounds maintains on-going relationships with multiple New York City schools and partnerships with schools and community centers abroad (in Kenya, Jordan, and Burundi). SCS also offers professional development and school workshops around the country and overseas. SCS programs emphasize cross-cultural musical training within an ensemble setting. Students learn to play recorders and percussion – universal instruments easily learned in the beginning stages – and quickly come together into vibrantly functioning musical ensembles that remain accessible to any level of training. Activities aim to nurture music creation, participation, performance, and analysis. Teaching materials focus on regional and world music to celebrate local traditions and foster multicultural curiosity. These materials also act as a primary gateway through which students explore musical resources, develop critical responses, and gain cultural sensitivity.
