Exploriential Music Learning for All Ages
Origins&Philosophy
WHAT WE DO
Musicollaborative is a New Orleans-based music education service organization offering a diverse array of hands on music learning opportunities including lessons, courses, camps and concerts for music lovers of all ages and experience levels. What distinguishes the Musicollaborative approach is an emphasis on collaboration, improvisation, discovery and play and a repertoire that highlights the sounds of the NOLA-diaspora. Musicollaborative celebrates the beauty of smallness by carefully maintaining low learner-facilitator ratios resulting in personalized attention. Facilitators do not utilize a boxed curriculum but instead draw inspiration from a broad range of culturally relevant source material to design experiences tailored to meet learners' needs and interests. Musicollaborative naturally evolves according to the learners who get involved.
WHY WE DO IT
Musicollaborative's family of musician-educators are passionate about nurturing creativity and sharing the power of music with others! We believe that inside the music we can co-create more joy, cultivate more beauty and achieve greater understanding, and that these positive vibrations can reverberate beyond our circle to positively impact our world now and in the days ahead.
WHO WE ARE
Musicollaborative Founder and Creative Director Kaya MartÃnez and fellow Musician~Educator Khari Allen Lee have assembled a network of dynamic creative arts educators specializing a variety of music disciplines to orchestrate engaging, inspiring and uplifting experiences for learners of all ages.
