Artist Discipline: Music
Artist Bio
Nelson Sosa believes in the concept of “Art in Education”, this is the reason he continues to work with Urban Gateways. His passion for music is more than a love of the combinations of notes, lyrics and rhythms, it is his life. Despite having attempted to retire from music many times, Sosa has realized that music must always be a part of him. Music has opened many doors in his life, and has allowed him to meet many people. During all of the years working with different schools, he has come to realized that teachers could use music in the classroom to teach any subject. Working with children helped him to understand that students are a lot more receptive when music is involved.
Educational Philosophy
The natural approach is a methodology which fits perfectly in music. Kids need to get it naturally; however music must be good and they need to be exposed to good and sane music. Parents must be prepared to learn how to deal with students listening music with wrong content.
