RHAPSODY Hip-Hop Education Program
(Recognizing Hip-Hop As a Powerful Source Of Development for Youth)

RHAPSODY activities integrate hip-hop with building self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline while meeting basic curricular theories in music, art, poetry, and dance. Students perform on turntables, write rhymes, create letter-based art, and dance. The activities are designed to improve students' critical thinking and critical listening skills. The program demonstrates how hip-hop can be a positive and productive form of creative self-expression.

Arts Integration Programs

Arts Integration is a collaborative approach to teaching that enables students to learn in and through the arts while gaining a deeper understanding of non-arts curriculum content. Students engage in meaningful arts activities that connect an art form with another non-arts subject area or areas while meeting key curriculum content standards and learning objectives in both arts and non-arts subjects.
