A teaching artist is one that recognizes and understands the influential nature of their art and uses it to promote a value system or subject matter as an entity in and of itself or as tool integrated into another discipline. A teaching artist is a way of thinking, being and an approach to engaging others in expression.<\/p>\n
As a singer songwriter, I am just as passionate about live performance as I am composing a composition. However, it is the development of composition; melody and lyrics that has inspired me to become a teaching artist. Many songs that I write are just the pages of my diary and personal artistic expression. However, increasingly I use music as a more purposeful tool of empowerment and peacebuilding for a global audience. Throughout my artistic development, I have learned from the lyrics of a musical lineage that serves as the sound track to my life. These artist and their songs are the inspiration behind the teaching artist component of my craft today.<\/p>\n
With my art comes a level of responsibility because music is sublime. Through the Kim Poole Experience I realize that music is the most powerful tool for empowerment and peace building because it\u2019s the only force in existence that can teach or heal someone without their knowledge or consent.
