YOUR SCHOOL
AT
THE WORLD
GLOBAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Extend the experience beyond the classroom with interactive programs for faculty, families and the wider school community.
Go deeper with a multi-day cultural residency, giving students more time to explore traditions, instruments, stories and global connections across the curriculum.
FACULTY & COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES
MULTI-DAY RESIDENCIES
Transform an entire school day into a journey around the world, with experiences tailored to different ages, grade levels and learning goals.
Bring the world directly to your students through an immersive exploration of cultures, rare instruments, artifacts, stories and traditions from around the globe.
FULL-DAY EXPERIENCES
SCHOOL VISITS
Bring world cultures into independent, boarding, international and IB schools through rare instruments, artifacts, firsthand travel stories and hands-on exploration.
Students connect geography, history, language, migration and the arts. Music is one way into the experience.
Choose a format for your ages, schedule and learning goals.
BRING THE WORLD TO YOUR SCHOOL
WORLD CULTURES
Connect your curriculum with firsthand cultural exploration. For IB schools, plan links to units of inquiry and international-mindedness with your faculty.
GLOBAL CONNECTIONS
Focus a visit on one division or question, tailor a full day to several ages, or explore more deeply through a residency. Faculty and community experiences can extend the conversation across boarding and wider school communities.
Locate traditions on a map, trace connections across time, and explore language, migration, materials and artistic expression. Encounter instruments as cultural objects, then join guided sound-making and discussion.
ACROSS YOUR SCHOOL
Students play, listen, create and ask questions. When appropriate, each participant can use a djembe for a shared rhythm experience.
PARTICIPATION, NOT PASSIVE OBSERVATION
Stories, traditions, instruments and artifacts open doors to geography, history and cultures from around the world — helping students make connections far beyond the classroom.
THE WORLD BECOMES THE CLASSROOM
Students encounter an extraordinary traveling collection of 200+ instruments and cultural artifacts from around the world — discovering the people, places, histories and traditions behind them.

A SCHOOL LEADER’S VIEW
“You allowed our students not only to listen to music, but to experience it, participate in it, and see how music can connect people and cultures.”
— MARIBELLE HARVEY, PRINCIPAL
ROUND ROCK K-8 SCHOOL AND RED VALLEY COVE HIGH SCHOOL
"Thank you so much for coming to our Montessori School! I loved the steel drum and the didgeridoo. I expected the steel drum to sound like wood hitting metal, but I loved how it actually sounded! It was so cool how you made the animal sound with the didgeridoo! Sadly, I can't come back next year because I'll be in 7th grade. I hope we meet again somewhere else though."
— Note from Lacee, an attendee of a PCM educational experience
"You are the nicest guy. Some day I want to be like you. [You] really inspired me. when I grow up I want to travel the world. Where where you born? Where are you going next? Were you in Africa yesterday? You are so passionate about yourself. I am glad that a you [chose] to come and show these beautiful instruments. You really taught us a lesson. It will always be an inspiration to me."
