World In Tune is a creative, integrative educational program that places music at the heart of learning – connecting history, culture, math, literature, and the arts through the universal language of sound.

Students travel across time and continents, exploring ancient civilizations and world cultures –  from Egypt and Mesopotamia to India, China, and Greece – while discovering how music reflects daily life, belief systems, technology, and human expression.

Designed for both music and classroom teachers, World In Tune blends:

  • Music theory and rhythm
  • World history and cultural studies
  • Math patterns and structure
  • Literature and storytelling
  • Art and visual traditions

Through hands-on activities, creative projects and dance, students don’t just learn about music – they learn through music.

World In Tune fosters creativity, curiosity, and global awareness, inviting children to listen, to learn, and to add their own voice – so that the world they inherit becomes a world they help create.

Children learn by:

  • Playing rhythms, singing and dancing
  • Exploring world cultures and traditions
  • Connecting music to stories and history
  • Expressing ideas through art and creativity

Designed to be fun, meaningful, and age-appropriate, World In Tune builds curiosity, confidence, and global awareness – while nurturing a lifelong love of music and learning.

Your child isn’t just memorizing facts.

They’re experiencing the world through sound.
