Blueprint overview
The Respond Blueprint is for teachers who would like their students to experience the music of another culture through active listening and reflection. Students will perceive and analyze music from a selected tradition, interpret its intent and meaning, then evaluate it using their own unique criteria. Exchanges feature outstanding musical demonstrations from international teaching artists, listening examples and resources, and supplementary materials that teachers can integrate into their own lesson plans. This is the most accessible entry point into the Culture Connect program — no instruments or special equipment required.
Format
Students can connect remotely from home or share the same space with their classmates. No instruments or special equipment required.
Requirements
No minimum exchange requirement. Content covered is at the discretion of the classroom teacher.
