our mission

The mission of the Harmony Project is to establish integrated arts programs in underserved schools by providing professional artists as partners with classroom teachers. The Harmony Project creates learning environments that engage students' minds and bring joy to the educational experience.


testimonials

It was wonderful to see the kids getting excited and involved in the activities. It really helped improve their self-esteem. Having two adults in the room made a great difference in the kids’ learning. I know they learned many skills I would not have taught them otherwise, and they still talk about the project with enthusiasm.

-Kim Bishop, 2nd grade teacher, Cheltenham Elementary

Harmony Project allows students to see academics in a fresh way. New adults come into the classroom, and these additional teachers, who are also artists, add texture to the learning experience. My poetry unit was twice as effective with a percussionist from Harmony Project.
