Zusammenfassung
Arts integration is a concept that has been prevalent in education for many years
and has been shown to improve student learning, transference, and engagement. Opera
guilds (organizations that supports an opera company, usually in a fundraising and
educational capacity) with their educational missions and artistic knowledge, are
positioned to be great facilitators for schools looking to integrate arts into their
curriculum. Despite the prevalence of school programs offered by opera guilds, no
research exists on how they are using the concept and practice of integration in their
school programs, what the benefits of this model are, and whether the integration
model is preferred over an arts exposure model. The outcome of this qualitative, casestudy
research is a master’s project.
