Young Audiences of Houston (YAH) offers dynamic arts programming by a roster of nationally recognized artists tailored for Pre-K through 12th grade students in both school and public venues. YAH programs include performances, workshops, and residencies in the fine arts, as well as teacher professional development training. These highly participatory programs are uniquely designed to reinforce core curriculum classroom instruction, provide positive role models, enhance student's self-esteem, foster creative and critical thinking skills, awaken interest in learning, and broaden the understanding of the world’s arts and cultures. The National Arts Education Research Center at New York University has found that test scores in academic subjects improve when the arts are used to illuminate learning.  All of the current YAH programs are aligned to the mandated Texas State curricula and testing (TEKS and TAKS) and YAH is an approved Texas State Board for Continuing Professional Educator Certification provider. Consequently, our professional development workshops offer teacher Gifted and Talented credit.
