An Exploration of Emotions and Color through Jazz Music presented in collaboration with COVERMYMEDS is a unique, five-step program designed for elementary and middle school students grades 3-8. The program combines Social Emotional Learning, Jazz Music, Film, Collaborative Abstract Arts, and an Artist Interaction into a one-of-a-kind experience that can be presented through a school’s instrumental music program or as an interdisciplinary collaboration with music, arts, and counseling.
