DACAMERA Young Artists present free Music Encounters at Harris County Libraries
Friendly Debate
Two musicians share facts and opinions about their instruments and perform for the participants. They respond with a debate about which they prefer.
DACAMERA Music Encounters have been developed as part of an initiative that brings classical music and jazz into classrooms throughout Houston, connecting music with the core curriculum. The mission of the program is to establish creative learning environments that support the Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) by promoting collaboration between artists, students and classroom teachers.
