"Hearing and Seeing History"
The UCI History Project presents a series of seminars for Orange County middle and high school American history teachers that will focus on techniques for introducing music and art into the history classroom. The seminars will provide teachers with an opportunity to develop strategies for integrating music and art into their pedagogical practice. History teachers will be better able to help students make connections—between the ways in which art and music shape the contemporary world and the ways in which art and music have shaped the world in the past.
