About Class Notes Artists

The Class Notes: Artists program at Classical MPR brings educational music performances to young and diverse audiences in Minnesota's elementary schools, creating authentic and transformative live-music experiences for them. Each artist or ensemble is selected for outstanding musicianship and a commitment to bring music to children where they learn on a daily basis. Artists also record in Classical MPR's Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser Music Studio; selections from these sessions make up the 2017-18 Class Notes: Artists* compilation album given to every participating student. Artists will do a performance chat next winter with a Classical MPR host to talk about their experience in schools. Artists work with Classical MPR's curriculum specialist to create curricula for teachers' in-classroom use that cover both pre- and post-performance topics. In addition, the curriculum specialist will advise artists on how to incorporate diverse and age-appropriate content into their program and coach artists in successful delivery methods for their presentations.
