Bushwick Northwest delivers literature, music, and songwriting to the Seattle community while building the next generation of musicians and readers.

Description

STYLE: Songwriting Through Youth Literature Education offers a variety of school and library programs dedicated to integrating arts into traditional classroom subjects. Working with grades K-12 and using books already in the curriculum, STYLE helps teachers and librarians take new approaches to needed material with lesson plans adhering to Common Core State Standards and The 21st Century Skills, and students gain new access points into Language Arts and Literature. "One of the best programs I've ever hosted for teens," raved one local librarian. LearningWithSTYLE.com

Every month The Bushwick Book Club Seattle performs original music inspired by a book for a live audience. Through 14 seasons and 200+ titles we've traveled from the center of the earth to outer space with authors famous, local, classic, contemporary, and myriad combinations thereof. Encouraging the audience to join in the reading of the book, events become a delightful and probing community conversation: "A brilliant way to expand anyone's appreciation of words written onto the pages of books."
