Abstract:
Over the years, the Music Center at the Jezreel Valley Center for the Arts has initiated many programs for peace education through music. Developing a child’s identity as an artist and a musician requires long term engagement. When children spend time making music together they have the opportunity to build a shared identity. This article presents past programs and analyzes the difficulties that occurred in their implementation. Conclusions include the need for a candid evaluation of success versus failure, and the need to better define the means and methods for each project’s implementation and evaluation.
