    THIRD STREET PARTNERS, SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS - SEE SCHEDULE OTHIRD STREET PARTNERS, SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS - ESTABLISHED DECADES AGO, THIRD STREET PARTNERS IS A SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM THAT REACHES THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS IN PRE-K THROUGH 12TH GRADE ACROSS MANHATTAN, QUEENS, BROOKLYN, THE BRONX, AND NEWLY DEVELOPED RESIDENCIES IN STATEN ISLAND. IN 2017-18, THIRD STREET PARTNERS SERVED 3,235 STUDENTS IN 26 PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THROUGH THESE PARTNERSHIPS, THIRD STREET BRINGS OUR EXPERIENCED TEACHING ARTISTS INTO PUBLIC SCHOOL CLASSROOMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH SKILL-BASED, SEQUENTIAL INSTRUCTION THAT RANGES FROM MUSIC AND MOVEMENT AND AFRICAN PERCUSSION TO GROUP VIOLIN AND BAND. OFTENTIMES, THIRD STREET'S ARTS EDUCATION IS THEIR FIRST EXPOSURE TO PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL TRAINING IN MUSIC AND DANCE. AT THIRD STREET, WE BELIEVE THAT MUSIC AND DANCE ARE AS ESSENTIAL AS A CORE SUBJECT AND WE OFFER SCHOOLS A CUSTOMIZABLE ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT IS SUSTAINABLE AND TAILORED TO THEIR STUDENT BODY. BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH A SCHOOL'S ADMINISTRATION, THIRD STREET DESIGNS A PROGRAM THAT FILLS A GAP IN THE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM. EXAMPLES INCLUDE SCHOOL-WIDE INSTRUMENTAL LESSONS (I.E. VIOLIN, GUITAR), SPECIALIZED AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS LIKE ROCK BAND AND CHOIR, OR MUSIC AND MOVEMENT FOR THOSE CONCENTRATING ON EARLY ELEMENTARY GRADES. ALL PROGRAMS PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A FOUNDATIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF MUSIC, INCLUDING INSTRUMENTAL SKILLS, RHYTHM, PITCH, MUSIC THEORY AND VOCABULARY, AND A BASIC SET OF REPERTOIRE. PROGRAMS ARE TYPICALLY YEAR-ROUND FOR 32 WEEKS, SEPTEMBER THROUGH JUNE AND CULMINATE WITH A PERFORMANCE. COMMITTED TO SERVING UNDER-RESOURCED POPULATIONS, ABOUT 75% OF STUDENTS ENGAGED IN THIRD STREET PARTNERS ARE LIVING AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LINE.
