Teachers of the visual and performing arts should know about this subscription-based Internet service that provides digital content for teachers, students, and audiences around the world. Online offerings include streaming video, live and interactive events, courses, master classes, and industry news from leading artists and arts institutions. Accompanying the streaming video content are lesson plans created by MENC: The National Association for Music Education.
