MAGIC: Musicians Activating Growth In ClassroomsMAGIC is a collaborative school partnership program that brings ASO Musicians into classrooms to teach arts-integrated, curriculum-based lessons and provide teachers with professional development in music education. Through the MAGIC program, musicians and teachers work together to create a unique residency plan for each classroom, and students experience hands-on creative musical exploration while applying principals of math, science, language arts and social studies. The program culminates with participating students and teachers attending an ASO Young People's Concert at no charge. To learn more about MAGIC, call 205-314-6943 or email us.
