Did you know you can practice piano all summer long with lessons from Music and the Brain's award-winning program? Visit matb-at-home.org for free resources to make your summer musical. #SummerLearning
Happy Last Day of School in NYC! Thanks to all of the teachers, students, parents, and administrators who made this school year amazing. Have a great summer and see you next year! #SchoolsOutForSummer
Are you a music teacher wanting more #StudentEngagement? Music and the Brain is right for you! Music and the Brain blends general music lessons with whole class piano instruction. Students stay motivated when they sing, move, read, and play music during each lesson.
Here’s your mid-week reminder that you're an Unstoppable Musician! We're forever grateful for the opportunity to visit our partner schools and encourage our students in person. #WednesdayWisdom
Pooja has been a part of Music and the Brain since 2nd grade, when she became an All-Star for the first time. Today she's in 8th grade, on the cusp of graduating middle school. We're so proud of Pooja and her accomplishments, on the piano and off! #MusicEducationMatters
Say cheese! #FlashbackFriday to our MATB Turns 25 Event last November, where we celebrated 25 wonderful years of Music and the Brain. Here are some red carpet snapshots of our talented student performers and their families! #MusicandtheBrain
Meet Jax, a New York fourth grader who's an absolute rockstar on the keyboard! "I get really excited when I really master something. Because I already know a lot already, think how I'll be when I'm older!" #MusicandtheBrain
MATB lessons of the classics are enhanced by the talent of legendary musicians like @YoYo_Ma, a prolific American cellist. Here's a clip of him playing with singer Bobby McFerrin that is featured in our lesson on Bach's Musette. #AAPIHeritageMonth ow.ly/t0B950OutHa
Congrats to Music Hero @mosessv, who will appear this summer in @HereLiesLoveBwy as part of Broadway's first all-Filipino cast! Here's Moses telling Music and the Brain students about the role music plays in his life. #APIDAHeritageMonth
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek! Music and the Brain has supported over 500 music teachers, and we could not be more grateful for each and every one of them. Don’t forget to thank a teacher this week! #MusicTeachers
On #NationalSuperheroDay, we want to celebrate Music Hero @alvinhoughpiano. Alvin is currently the music director for the musical @NYNYbway, which opened on Broadway this week. Here he is putting his own spin on Music and the Brain song "Happy Birthday." Congrats Alvin!
On this day in 1810, Beethoven composed #FurElise. Although the song wasn't published until 40 years after Beethoven's death, today it is one of his best known compositions. Thanks to 4th grade Music and the Brain student Bruno for sharing this incredible performance!
This month and every month, we're thrilled and honored to provide the benefits of music to students across the Autism Spectrum 💙 #AutismAcceptanceMonth
Fun Fact: Qualifying Music and the Brain partner schools are provided with a full keyboard lab for piano instruction. Students enjoy the emotional, cognitive, and fine motor benefits of playing the piano as part of their school day. #TeachingPiano
Happy #JazzAppreciationMonth! Throughout the school year, our students learn about the rich history of jazz and its vital contributions to American music. Thanks to Music Hero Lauren Sevian for sharing her amazing rendition of one of "When the Saints Go Marching In!" #MusicEd
At Music and the Brain, we're proud to be inspiring the next generation of women in music. We can't wait to see what they'll accomplish next! 💪 #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInMusic #MusicEd
It's International Teach Music Week, and we want to take a moment to shout out all of our incredible Music and the Brain teachers across the country. Thanks for all you do! #TeachMusicWeek #MusicTeachers
In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, we want to shout out Music and the Brain Music Heroes @JHookityHooks, @sidneybirdmusic, @jessiecchambers, @WillaAmai, @ChiaraFasi, Lauren Sevian, and Morley Kamen. Thank you to these talented women for inspiring us and our students!
We're honored to have received a grant from @warnermusic and the Blavatnik Family Foundation's Social Justice Fund. Special thanks to our friends at @warnermusic_x for nominating us! ow.ly/OcaK50Nhe2Q
Providing ongoing support to teachers is a vital part of our program. That's why we offer regular professional development workshops to keep best practices current, to share tools and tips, and to give educators a chance to connect with one another. #ProfessionalDevelopment
