Service Description
Embark on a musical adventure through the history of Disney and Pixar movies in this engaging and interactive course! Rediscovering classic tunes like “Heigh Ho” from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and “The Circle of Life” from The Lion King, innovative soundscapes of modern Disney-Pixar collaborations like Toy Story, and even modern musical favorites from movies like Princess and the Frog and Zootopia, participants will explore how music has evolved over the decades and shaped storytelling. Each week, students will dive into themed lectures, hands-on activities, and listening sessions to understand the impact of music on emotions and visuals. Highlights include "Guess That Song" games, art and drama activities, and a collaborative class project where students will perform their favorite songs to make their very own Magical Melody musical! The course concludes with a grand premiere of the musical and a celebration featuring dancing and games. Unleash your inner music lover and create unforgettable memories through the magic of Disney and Pixar!
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
