Professional musicians. Sustained relationships.
Within Reach School Artist Residencies connect middle and high school music programs with professional performing musicians for a series of visits throughout the school year.
What a residency includes
-
Instrument-Specific Instruction
Focused instruction from professional musicians who specialize in the students’ instruments.
-
Sectionals & Performance Coaching
Targeted work on ensemble repertoire, technique, tone, musicality, and performance preparation.
-
Masterclasses
Opportunities for students to perform, receive feedback, ask questions, and learn from professional performers.
-
Educational Performances
Live demonstrations give students the opportunity to hear professional musicians up close and connect concepts discussed in rehearsal to professional performance.
-
Mentorship
Students can ask questions about practicing, performing, college music, careers, and life as a professional musician.
Within Reach programs are designed to complement—not replace—the work of school music educators.
