Arts Learning
ACHF Arts Education
We are confident the goals of this residency will be met, and the outcomes will be that all students at Marcy Open School in the first and second grades, regardless of gender, race, socioeconomic status, and developmental levels, will learn about American history and music through the lens of musical theater. We are also confident this residency will strengthen their social skills as well as their knowledge of social studies, math, reading, music, dance, and theater. We will survey the first and second grade teachers (who we work with closely) at the end of the residency. They reinforce residency activities throughout the week and have a deep knowledge of what the kids are learning and retaining during our times in the classroom. We will also collect an audience count at the final performance which has been very well-attended for past residencies at Marcy.
Students learned about the history of musical theatre, about the instruments that were part of the pit orchestra, and three unique musical theatre show tunes per classroom and three group songs performed in the Marcy theatre in two performances for 250 people.
