Welcome to The Manhattan New Music Project (MNMP)!
|
MNMP residency programs
foster original, student-created
artistic work across all artistic
disciplines. MNMP arts-in-education
programs are available in the
areas of music, drama, dance/movement,
visual arts and creative writing.
MNMP’s
curriculum strives to be multi-disciplinary,
and many of our arts educational
programs are designed for special
needs populations. MNMP has
developed a close relationship
with New York City Department
of Education’s
District 75, which is special
needs focused.
Consistent with
the New York State Learning
Standards for the Arts, as well
as the New York City Blueprint
for the Arts, MNMP infuses the
creative process into everyday
curriculum to support student
learning. As a whole, MNMP’s
programs address skill-based
learning, aesthetic comprehension,
contextual and cultural understanding,
as well as Professional Development
and curriculum-integrated instruction
for teachers.
