- We supply everything else!
UBU Pedagogy and Curriculum
UBU Pedagogy
Our pedagogy comes from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran:
"The greatest teachers lead their students to the threshold of their own wisdom." UBU Music is dedicated to leading participants of all ages along an engaging, interactive journey of self-discovery. This is achieved through a process based upon the principles of the Socratic Seminar which are:
Student-Led
Project-Based
Goal-Oriented
Arts-Infused
UBU CURRICULUM
UBU Music's classroom curriculum is based upon what we call "The UBU Treasure Chest" as taught through one-week, performing arts integration residencies:
Hope
Resilience
Self-Compassion
Empathy
Students of all ages quickly discover that their UBU Treasure Chest can be found within their own hearts.
UBU Performing Arts Integration
Much like the Saturday morning cartoon Schoolhouse Rock™, UBU Music's Performing Arts Integration Residencies engage and utilize performing arts skills and curricula to introduce, support, and enhance the work already being in your classrooms and after-school programs. The exciting difference with UBU Music Performing Arts Integration Residencies is that: all lyrics are created by your students! Each student’s deeper understanding of the four “UBU Treasure Chest Words” is the topic of an ongoing, week-long, interactive discussion that leads to your students creating their own original song!
