How to Use the Guide

Masthead

On all pages of the Educator’s Guide, you will see the above masthead. The rotating banner of artist pictures shows the artists in your search result (on the welcome page it will rotate all artists). You can use the link above the banner to get an alphabetical list of your search results, or, if you want to see a list of all the artists on our roster, you can click the button below, “Alphabetical List of All Artists.” Next to this button is the “My Wishlist” button. You can click this to see which artists you have added to your wishlist so far. A wishlist of artists can be sent to Young Audiences to start a dialogue about scheduling.

Search the Guide

On the sidebar to the left, you will see all the options for searching the Educator’s Guide. You can fill out as much or as little as you like to find what you’re looking for. You can enter a search term at the top and there are also options for narrowing your search by curriculum, program type, and grade levels. Please note that if you are narrowing by more than one section, the search engine uses an “AND” function. For example, selecting “Music” and “Residencies” and “4” will only return artists that offer music residencies for fourth graders.

Selections within each section are treated with an “OR” function. For example, if “Dance” was selected in addition to the example above, the search engine would return artists that offer residencies for fourth graders that have connections to music or dance.
