They become part of it.
Through live music, storytelling, humor, audience participation, acoustic and electric violin, and honest conversations about courage, identity and purpose, Ariella creates the kind of school experience students actually remember.
Whether she’s performing for an entire school or sitting with a smaller group of students, the message underneath the music is the same:
You have a voice.
You have something only you can bring to the world.
And you don't have to wait until you're older to use it.
Workshops
Ariella's workshops take the themes from the stage and give students the opportunity to explore them personally.
Every workshop is interactive and can be tailored together with the school around its students, curriculum, Jewish calendar or music program.
SMALLER ROOM. DEEPER CONVERSATION.
CONFIDENCE, FEAR & FINDING YOUR VOICE
Middle-High School
What happens when fear tells you you're not good enough?
How do you stop comparing yourself to everyone around you?
How do you perform, speak, create or lead when you're terrified of getting it wrong?
Through personal storytelling, music, discussion and practical exercises, Ariella helps students explore confidence, performance anxiety, identity and the pressure to become who everyone else expects them to be.
The goal isn't to teach students how to never feel afraid.
It's to help them discover that fear doesn't get to make their decisions for them.
And to begin asking a bigger question:
What am I here to do with the gifts I've been given?
MUSIC WORKSHOPS
School Music Programs
What turns notes into music?
What makes someone impossible to stop watching onstage?
And what do you do when your hands are shaking before you perform?
Drawing from her life as a professional violinist, singer, recording artist and international performer, Ariella takes student musicians behind the curtain of a life in music.
Depending on the needs of the program, workshops can explore:
Performance anxiety • Stage presence • Musical expression • Improvisation • Creativity • Confidence • Violin technique • Connecting with an audience • Building a life as a musician
Students can bring their instruments, perform, ask questions and work directly with Ariella.
JEWISH MUSIC COMES ALIVE
Pre-k -5th Grade
This is not a sit-still-and-listen music lesson.
Students sing, move, play and learn a Hebrew song together through rhythm, movement and interactive musical games.
The workshop can connect to an upcoming Jewish holiday, Israel programming or something students are already learning in school.
It can also culminate in something especially fun:
The students perform the song themselves at a school assembly or special event.
They don't just learn about Jewish music.
They get to make it.
