Year-Round Residencies

Written by music educators and performing arts professionals, we created  residency programs which offer high energy and interactive sessions for all ages, with one common goal: every child deserves the opportunity to experience and enjoy the world of music.

SALE

RYD programming is free to qualifying schools and organizations! 

Residencies have proven to be an integral component in either supplementing or enhancing a curriculum in a classroom or extracurricular setting. Whether they become an appreciator of the arts or sessions inspire them to pursue the performing arts, our trained professional teaching artists assist students in developing social-emotional skills, communication skills, and more!

Music In Me

Created for youth that have little to no access to music education or appreciation in an elementary classroom, Music In Me opens the door to the importance of music in their life. This uses interactive tools from all performing arts angles and is based in the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's Music Standards. 

The class ends with a final performance showcase,  leaving them empowered with the ability to connect to their community with music understanding.

For 3rd-5th grade students

12-session program

Music With My Friends

Inspiring middle to high school students to develop and showcase their performing attributes, Music With My Friends teaches positive and inspirational vocals,  challenging choreography, and collaborative coaching -all wrapped in a high-energy team building atmosphere. All abilities are welcome to this program, which focuses on showcasing the performers in a safe space, while also giving individual opportunities to those that want to shine and step out of their comfort zone.

The 12-20 minute final performance in this class is complete with choreography and high-energy!
