This webinar is the third in a six-part series, The Arts of Eastern Europe and Eurasia, designed to support educators in bringing the arts of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia into their classrooms. This session focuses on practical strategies for incorporating the region’s rich musical traditions into K–12 teaching. Participants will explore both traditional and popular musical forms and genres, using sound as a lens to illuminate broader cultural, historical, and social themes. The webinar features listening examples, adaptable classroom activities, and cross-curricular approaches that connect music to subjects such as literature, geography, and history.

Please register to join us for an engaging session filled with ready-to-use resources and creative ideas for introducing students to the diverse musical traditions of Eastern Europe and Eurasia.
