Re/sound: Songs of Wisconsin

An educational collaboration by WSMA and PBS Wisconsin Education


Project Background

Re/sound: Songs of Wisconsin is a collection of educational media resources for general music programs serving grades 4-8, and is a collaboration with Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) and PBS Wisconsin.

In a state-wide survey and listening sessions with music educators, we learned about the need for current, authentic, culturally diverse resources, as well as support in teaching with and about music from different cultures. These educator-stated needs shaped the direction and goals of the collection.

This multimedia collection includes video interviews with Wisconsin musicians, performances, audio files, and educator engagement guides designed to help activate the media with learners.

Learning Goals

  • Explore – Explore connections between music, identities, cultures and emotions.
  • Recognize – Recognize shared and unique elements of distinct pieces of music.
  • Relate – Relate content to personal experiences choosing, playing and sharing music.
