Northeast Regional Practicum: February 16-17, 2023
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
The Northeast Regional Practicum is designed to convene Teaching Artists from El Sistema-inspired and community music programs across the Northeast, including Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Over two full days in-person, participants gain new skills and tools that directly support the continued growth of their teaching practice as they hear from expert clinicians, reflect together through collaborative conversations, observe teaching artistry in real-time, and build a network of peer Teaching Artists.
We look forward to meeting you February 16-17 at the Northeast Regional Practicum in Paterson, NJ, hosted by the Paterson Music Project, a program of the Wharton Institute for Performing Arts.
About the Host organization
The Paterson Music Project (PMP) is a program of the Wharton Institute for the Performing Arts that empowers children to achieve their full potential through the joyful pursuit of musical excellence. Inspired by the global El Sistema movement, PMP uses music education as a vehicle for social change in its home city of Paterson.
PMP provides tuition-free musical training to students throughout Paterson after school and on weekends. Students study a primary instrument and participate in ensemble practice, instrumental sectionals, and private lessons three times a week. Students perform frequently for the community.
