The Center for World Music is pleased to announce its cadre of Artist-Teachers of traditional music and dance from around the world: India, Indonesia, The Middle East, Mexico, Africa, and Europe. Funded by city, state, and federal Artists-in-Schools grants, these Artist-Teachers are available during the academic school year 2009-10 for short-term or year-round weekly classes as well as for performances at school assemblies. Our Artist-Teachers are currently teaching weekly music and dance classes to thousands of San Diego's public school children.

For additional information, please email John R. Gabriel or call (760) 845-9480.
