Year-Round Residencies
Written by music educators and performing arts professionals, we created residency programs which offer high energy and interactive sessions for all ages, with one common goal: every child deserves the opportunity to experience and enjoy the world of music.

RYD programming can be funded to qualifying schools and organizations!
Residencies have proven to be an integral component in either supplementing or enhancing a curriculum in a classroom or extracurricular setting. Whether they become an appreciator of the arts or sessions inspire them to pursue the performing arts, our trained professional teaching artists assist students in developing social-emotional skills, communication skills, and more!
About Our Residencies
Music In Me
Created for youth that have little to no access to music education or appreciation in an elementary classroom, Music In Me opens the door to the importance of music in their life. This uses interactive tools from all performing arts angles and is based in the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's Music Standards.
The class ends with a final performance showcase, leaving them empowered with the ability to connect to their community with music understanding.
