Music Arts in Health Cultural Arts Education

YAMZ is an innovative program that merges the arts and education to foster a love for learning, leading to improved academic performance and positive youth development. This school-based initiative focuses on enhancing the level of arts instruction, with a special emphasis on a music culture enrichment program that highlights sounds rooted in the Black American experience. Led by a team of seasoned professionals at Her Dreams Productions, the program is centered around three core pillars of culture programming: storytelling-style lessons that inspire and encourage the use of art, music, and creativity for social good; ensemble assembly performances that showcase poetry, music, and movement to captivate young audiences; and a culminating semester youth showcase where students produce a spectacular exhibition of their acquired skills and talents.

We create and deliver original songs as an act of appreciation, kindness, and care.
