Here is a link to a great episode of Oregon Art Beat, “Teaching Creativity.” It aired May 27, 2010.
The episode features Michael Geisen, an award-winning teacher at Crook County Middle School in Prineville; John Baker, Choir Director at Rex Putnam High School, who has been teaching choirs to soar musically for nearly three decades; and the artists supported by Young Audiences, whose concerts and classes are paid for through student fund-raising.
