Message from RYME’s Director
Mar 2nd
Welcome to RYME!
All of us at RYME believe that this is an exciting time for youth, music and education. Youth in the 21st century have undergone a transformation in their music participation. More young people than ever before are involved in learning opportunities that foster meaningful engagement in a wide variety of music activities.
Increased mobility, social networking, media, and globalization have increased young people’s exposure to diverse musical ideas and practices. Technology has created instantaneous access to varied music resources. Youth are actively engaged in creating their own musical worlds.
Today, youth have more music choices available to them and more autonomy over their music choices. They are achieving new heights in their music-related activities. They are also learning in and through music—about music making, artistic and emotional expression, culture, social justice, themselves, others, and the world around them.
