What is it about?
Creating interdisciplinary curriculum can be challenging, especially considering how the fine arts are often placed in a subordinate position to learning in other school subject areas.

Why is it important?
This example of arts integration demonstrates the power and impact of music to deepen students' understanding of concepts that are shared with other academic areas.
Perspectives
Over the past seven years, I have worked to develop education outreach curriculum that places classical music at the center of children's lives and learning. By exploring shared concepts in music and other subject areas, students are given opportunities to represent and demonstrate their understandings in diverse ways.
