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,

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

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.
