Meet Aline Morales and Padideh Ahrarnejad as they take you on a learning journey through Iranian folk music and Brazilian capoeira. This curriculum resource includes background information, video lessons, a slide show ready for the classroom and a teacher’s guide
In 2023, KUNE partnered with music educators to create curriculum resources that bring global music into the classroom in meaningful and accessible ways. Designed to be easy to use before and after performances, these materials invite students to listen closely, reflect, and explore music as a shared cultural practice rooted in creativity and connection.

How to Use These Resources
These resources are designed to function as self-standing lesson plans and can be used independently in the classroom. They also pair naturally with KUNE’s live performances, school visits, concerts, and workshops, enriching students’ learning through direct interaction with the artists.
Teachers are encouraged to adapt the materials to their classroom context, grade level, and learning goals.
