Introduction
To Music Blueprint Professional development
The Office of the Arts and Special Projects provides citywide
professional development in the implementation of the Blueprint
for Teaching and Learning in the Arts. Professional development
sessions are led by master teachers—outstanding public
school arts teachers identified by the DOE—and teaching
artists—professional artists from local cultural organizations.
During these sessions, teachers explore the five Blueprint strands
of arts education, and learn strategies for lesson plan building
and engaging children in the arts. Teachers participate in hands-on
projects, allowing them to directly apply the lessons learned
at training sessions to their classrooms.

This series will provide practical, performance based strategies for articulating and demonstrating the ways in which music empowers students to "decode "complex text. These three sessions will focus upon one, specific aspect of the music specialist's mission: to encourage students' appreciation and participation in music thus developing their ability to read music-related text. In doing so, the goals and outcomes for our students contained within the Music Blueprint and Common Core standards are supported.
| Session 1: |
Participants will engage in a deep analysis of a single, major masterwork from the music canon. |
| Session 2: |
Building upon the strategies and approaches learned in the prior session, participants will work with peers in cohorts, organized by grade level. |
| Session 3: |
As a group, participants will view the recordings of the school-based lessons captured after session two. A special musical performance culminates the series. |
