This year, VocalEssence offers WITNESS partner schools the opportunity for their students to have access to all of our VocalEssence Teaching Artists via the VocalEssence WITNESS Portal. Teaching Artists explore the yearly program theme through their artistic discipline, creating an integrative academic experience for students combining the study of African American culture with art, music, social studies, literature, character building, and other areas of school curriculum.
