Lesson 1
Introduction to Music Notation
The IMPACT approach revitalizes the Renaissance's holistic, cross-disciplinary educational ethos, focusing on creating versatile, well-rounded learners akin to the Renaissance ideal of the "universal man," as epitomized by figures like Leonardo da Vinci. While rooted in music, the IMPACT program integrates various academic disciplines, promoting an interconnected understanding of knowledge. This modern take on Renaissance principles merges arts and sciences, facilitating practical music applications alongside interdisciplinary engagement, allowing students to develop both their musical skills and broader intellectual capacities.
C – Cross-Curricular Connection
Renaissance Influence on IMPACT
The Renaissance educational practices emphasized blending arts and sciences, with mentorship as a key component. The IMPACT program mirrors this by fostering a collaborative, group-based mentorship model, combining expert and peer mentors to guide students through both the technical and creative aspects of music. Like the Renaissance tradition, which developed polymaths skilled across disciplines, the IMPACT approach encourages students to connect their musical education with other fields, creating a dynamic and accessible learning environment that goes beyond the limitations of traditional, one-dimensional learning.
STEAM

IMPACT
-
Curriculum Focus:
While STEAM spreads its attention evenly across subjects, IMPACT focuses on music, weaving other disciplines around it to support and deepen students’ understanding of their musical projects.
-
Interdisciplinary Connections:
IMPACT carefully selects connections that are directly relevant to music, ensuring that interdisciplinary learning enhances students' musical education. STEAM, in contrast, integrates subjects more broadly, which may not always align with a music-centered focus.
-
Learning Enhancement:
IMPACT’s approach enhances learning by connecting music with other disciplines, fostering a deeper appreciation for both the music and the broader context. STEAM’s integration is more general, potentially diluting the focus on music.
-
Educational Approach:
IMPACT’s active, music-centered learning model provides a personalized experience, particularly for students interested in music, allowing them to progress at their own pace. STEAM, while interdisciplinary, may not challenge musically inclined students as deeply or could overwhelm those less interested in music.
The Renaissance Model Reimagined for Modern Learning
IMPACT reinvents the Renaissance model of education by applying it to today’s music programs. Just as Renaissance learners engaged in multiple disciplines under the mentorship of experts, students in the IMPACT program engage in a collaborative, music-centered curriculum that also explores history, culture, technology, and other academic fields. This approach enriches students' musical understanding and encourages the development of well-rounded, thoughtful individuals who can apply their learning across multiple areas of study.
