PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REVIEWS

“You, the National Chorale, through the Artist-in-Residence programs you provide, have contributed immeasurably in our school to stimulate interest and understanding of music and the development of skills in making music with others, particularly in students’ use of their own vocal talents. Thank you for enriching our students’ lives by helping to bring the magical world of music and choral music in particular to our schools.” —Carmen Farina Former NYC Schools Chancellor

“Our partnership with National Chorale was a huge success. The program has become an integral part of our school community. It is truly an arts-in-education residency where the teaching artist and our classroom teachers work together in a creative and exciting environment to enhance the musical experience of our children.” —Principal, PS 310, Bronx

“It was a most educational and enriching experience for our students. Your Artist-in-Residence Program enabled them to have a live experience with professional musicians on an intimate basis. —Chairman, Department of Music, LaGuardia Arts High School, NYC

“PS 157 began our affiliation with the National Chorale through Project Arts funding. We never expected the amazing results, which came from this partnership. We can not praise the National Chorale enough. I would recommend this organization to every administrator I know, and advise them of the wonderful benefits derived from this musical experience.” –Principal, PS 157, Brooklyn

“Not only is the National Chorale bringing the joy of singing to a generation too long satisfied to be non-participants, it is also creating an enthusiastic audience for choral music in general.” —The Music Educators Journal

“Brooklyn Technical High School has had an Artist-in-Residence program with the National Chorale for the past twelve years. Tech, with a student base of over 4,000 students, has been greatly affected by this program. The music students at Tech have had their lives forever altered by the National Chorale. We look forward to a continued partnership.” —Director of Choral Music, Brooklyn Technical High School
