• VARIETY SHOW

    Connect. Collaborate. Create.

Variety Show

The STYLE team loves to read, and loves to perform for an audience. Students will hear a full concert of music inspired by the children’s books we all love. You’ll hear music from classic authors and books like Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, Where the Wild Things Are, and The Wizard of Oz. Our song list is always growing as we venture into new children’s and YA literature from popular writers!

  • STYLE teaching artist(s)
  • Performance of songs inspired by the book
  • Cross-curricular lessons in ELA critical thinking and musical concepts
  • Password protected webpage for each group
  • Recording of creation (Mp3 download made available on your STYLE webpage)

We align with the Common Core State Standards and 21st Century Skills.
