Teach In Harmony

The program is composed of classes and workshops culminating in the formation of a youth Rara orchestra/band. Students will learn the rhythms and instruments of a Rara band from local masters. The workshops will provide a dynamic way of introducing youth to aspects of Haitian music and is a perfect place for hands-on, self-directed creative expression for kids and young adults. The partnership with the Little Haiti Cultural Complex (LHCC), a local facility dedicated to the facilitation of Haitian cultural practices ensures cultural competency. The LHCC will provide access to educational supplements by way of interaction with Haitian musicians and guest instructors.
