About
VH1 Music Studio
As a network member of the Cable
in the Classroom initiative, VH1 airs commercial free educational
programming for use in the music and cross-curricular classroom each month.
By taping the program, teachers can keep the shows and use them at the
point and time that most appropriately fits into their curriculum. The
music programming featured for VH1 Music Studio is based on a multitude
of concepts that can reinforce the National Music Standards and integrate
music with other subject areas. VH1 works in partnership with your local
cable company to provide these valuable educational resources available
on VH1 and through www.vh1musicstudio.com.
