Curtis Blues

Art Forms: Music, Theatre

Through my association with Young Audiences and the Teaching Artist Institute I have broadened my perspective on how teaching the history of acoustic roots music can make the curriculum’s history, music, and language arts details come alive. With arts-integrated teaching, students experience that learning can be engaging and fun.
