Music In Literature

Music In Literature

Music In Literature (MIL) exposes elementary-age children to the power of music through literature. The MIL program pairs children with professional musicians in an interactive relationship, allowing them to enjoy a story and an instrument demonstration. This program also weaves music into classroom curriculum and shows teachers how to creatively incorporate components of the arts with the core subject areas of math, English, science, and social studies. Books included in the program cover a wide range of subjects such as friendship, hard work, overcoming odds, and values, while also exploring subjects such as cultural music, the life of composers or musicians, diversity, the joys of composing, and more.

Thank you to the Texas Commission of the Arts for underwriting the 2021-2022 Music in Literature educational program.
