K - 12 EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM

Excerpts from Letters of Support: 
Educational Programming K-12

 

The three performers were excellent.  Their demeanor was perfect for this age level.  The students and teachers enjoyed the performance.  Incorporating students/teachers into the examples of opera was particularily effective.”

Educator, Blach Intermediate School:  What is Opera? assembly

“I loved the diversity of the singers – they were phenomenal!”
 
Educator, Carden El Canto School
:   Mozart Magic assembly

“Excellent rapport with audience.  Good explanation of “opera” vocabulary for older students.”

Educator, Castlemont Elementary School:  What is Opera? assembly

“Áudience participation, having students on stage with performers really adds to the presentation.  Thank you – fantastic performance, great information for the students!”

Educator, Ruskin School:  What is Opera? assembly

I liked the idea of the students writing their own libretto.   I think the school developed an interest in opera.  It was a pleasure to hear so many solos and duets from young voices.  What a treat!”

Educator, Easterbrook Elementary:  Let’s Make An Opera! program

“Singer Adam Flowers did a wonderful job directing the construction of the story line, lyrics and choice of music, as well as creating the vision of the sets.  The staff, parents, and myself feel it is a very worthwhile program.  The children are still singing the songs and wanting to pursue more opera performance.  We hope to have you back next year!”

Educator, Easterbrook Elementary:  Let’s Make An Opera! program

Ít was great!  Children need to be exposed to opera at an early age in order for them to want to attend when they get older, particularily in light of the fact that very little music is taught in schools now.”

Educator, Stocklmeir Elementary:  What is Opera? assembly

“Performers handled the children very well – they had a terrific sense of humor…..brought opera to the kids in a way they could understand.”

Educator, Alta Vista Elementary:  What is Opera? assembly

“Many of my students talked about the performance for days afterwards.  Great experience for all who attended.”

Educator, Christian Community School:  Arts Express Student Matinee
