All our chamber music coaches are trained to use an innovative inquiry-based, student-centered approach that deepens student engagement and encourages leadership. The collaborative music experience is seen a vehicle through which students gain valuable life skills and attitudes and our coaches gear lessons towards these outcomes. Although their professional opinion and insights are offered as guides, ultimately the students make their own decisions as a group and thus gain a deep sense of ownership of the music. The coach sets-up an environment that promotes artistic risk-taking and students develop elevated levels of respect and empathy among peers, develop effective communication skills and learn to collaboratively find creative solutions to complex challenges.
