SUMMARY:Link Up: The Orchestra Sings
DESCRIPTION:What Is Link Up? \nCarnegie Hall’s Link Up pairs orchestras with schools in their local communities to learn about\, listen to\, and perform great music. Students in grades 3–5 are given the opportunity to join the orchestra in this highly participatory program\, in which\nthey learn to sing and play an instrument in the classroom and perform with a professional orchestra from their seats at a culminating concert. \nSince 2003\, Carnegie Hall has partnered with professional\, community\, and university orchestras through Link Up to support their existing education programs\, strengthen their\npartnerships with local schools\, and provide the highest quality print and digital curricula\, resources\, and professional development—all free of charge. In recent years\, Link Up has\nbeen implemented by more than 100 partner orchestras and served as many as a half million students and teachers. \nProgram Goals \n\nTeach fundamental musical concepts to students in grades 3–5\, including creative work and composition.\nIntroduce students to the symphony orchestra and the concert hall in their community\, inspiring the next generation of musicians and orchestral music lovers.\nFoster relationships between orchestras and their local schools.\nProvide professional development opportunities for teachers and teaching artists.\n\nWhy Link Up? \n\nConnects with the community\nDevelops and strengthens educational partnerships with schools and teachers.\nCollaborates with local artists and arts organizations.\nCreates a lasting impact on students through an interactive concert experience.\n\nSupport teachers with free educational resources \n\nProvide teachers with access to high-quality educational resources\, including curricular materials\, professional development\, and a wealth of digital resources.\n\nEstablish lasting partnerships \n\nCreate a lasting relationship with Carnegie Hall.\nJoin a global network of orchestras and educators\n\nIn 2025\, the ACO will perform The Orchestra Sings! with AISD 3rd-5th graders. \nMelody is one of the universal elements of music\, and defines the music we know and love.
