"Through this program you have not only put an instrument into every student's hand....and provided the opportunity to create music as individuals or in groups, you have given students an unforgettable experience and a taste of what is possible in the symphony concert hall.  Children learn how they can become active participants or listeners in the world of orchestral music."

Link Up, a Carnegie Hall Weill Music Institute music education program now in its eighth season, pairs orchestras with students in grades three through five to explore orchestral repertoire through a hands-on music curriculum.  Students explore a core musical concept in specific symphonic works through listening, singing, playing the recorder, and composing.  The year-long program culminates with an interactive orchestra concert in which student perform prepared vocal and instrumental repertoire selections and share some of their creative work. 

The unique collaboration between MAC, Carnegie Hall, and orchestras across Mississippi, provides standards-based curriculum to the school district and enables orchestras to expand their current education programs and strengthen relationships with their surrounding schools and community. 

"I liked feeling like I was part of the symphony when we went to the concert."
