Canada's National Arts Centre (NAC) celebrates and cultivates the performing arts. The site's Resources page is well suited for music and other creative-arts educators. Here, instructors will find videos, lesson plans, and other activities for their classrooms. For example, several video series are embedded at the top of the page, including a Songwriting Workshop Series with Ila Baker, a Winnipeg folk artist and NAC teaching artist. Further down the page, readers will find a link to "All My Relations: Celebrating Canada's Indigenous Peoples," a teaching guide with music, poetry, and dance based lesson plans. Other educational resource kits, audio clips, and sheet music can also be found on the page. Some of these materials are broader in scope (for example, the "Celebrating Canada's Indigenous Peoples Through Song and Dance" teaching guide), while others are more specific (such as lesson plans and audio tracks based on composer Franz Schubert). Whatever materials instructors select, the NAC encourages users to make it their own and tailor the resources to inspire "music and arts learning," in their classrooms.
