Project Groups
In addition to our full Working Group, four project groups meet regularly to discuss topics relating to specific elements of Levine’s community.
Learn more about each of our Working Group Project Groups below.
Communications Project Group
Made up of representatives from Levine’s Board of Trustees, faculty, and staff, the Communications Project Group advises on best practices regarding marketing and institutional communications to ensure Levine’s external and internal efforts remain accessible and reflect the communities we serve.
Curriculum and Programming Project Group
The Curriculum Project Group explores Levine’s educational and performance programs to cultivate an exceptional and well-rounded artistic experience for our students and families. Through careful examination of current repertoire and curricular materials, the Project Group ensures a safe and informed learning space, considering the multi-genre musical interests of our student body and community.
Feedback and Information Gathering Project Group
The Feedback and Information Gathering Project Group gathers regular input and feedback from Levine’s stakeholders. Their goal is to assess how effectively Levine achieves its goals as a workplace, service provider, and organization. Through surveys, focus groups, and listening sessions, the Project Group works to ensure the Community and Accessibility Working Group’s discussions and projects continually reflect input from the communities we serve.
Tuition Assistance and Access Project Group
The Tuition Assistance Project Group focuses on enhancing Levine’s tuition assistance programs, amplifying performance opportunities for tuition-assisted students, and exploring opportunities to support our students and lower barriers to musical study beyond our traditional tuition assistance program. Through collaborative efforts and strategic planning, the Project Group cultivates an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive regardless of background or circumstance.
