Description:

Throughout his 25 years, Jorge has participated in many residencies. It gives him the opportunity to share an extended and more meaningful experience with students and teachers. He's done several all-school residencies, especially for the 5th grade, when students are typically studying Latin America. Residencies may include any combinations of all of the different programs and bands that Jorge offers.

Programs
- Dance Workshops
- Exploring Nature Sounds Through Percussion Instruments
- Hands-On Percussion Instrument Workshops
- Making Percussion Instruments
- Original Songwriting Workshop

Bands
- Jorge T. Cuevas & The Caribe Jazz Allstars Traditional Latin Music & Dance
- Jorge's Percussion Ensemble
- Arco Iris Latin trio band performance

At the end of most residencies the schools typically have a Latin American Fiesta (festival) where the students can perform (sing in Spanish, dance the merengue, and play percussion instruments with the band).
