Sound Scholars™ 2023 Winter Term – Otter Pod
Otter Pod is our no-cost early childhood music program for preschoolers.
For any community to thrive, a cacophony of interests, needs, goals, and dreams — of all its members — have to be brought into harmony.
For most of human history, this work has been accomplished not through outreach or social media, but through the arts. Yes, through great and famous works — but far more through things like campfire singing and community Christmas pageants.
That’s because arts-engaged community members are not only making art, but building vital community assets like pride, ownership, trust, and a sense of belonging.
