Abstract: This article explores the value of using world music pedagogy as an approach to teach music in a more holistic way and suggests the Smithsonian Learning Lab as a tool for this purpose. It outlines Patricia Campbell’s five dimensions of world music pedagogy and demonstrates their application through a curated Celia Cruz collection. Step-by-step guidance is provided for creating, adapting, and using digital collections to foster attentive, engaged, enactive, and creative music-making while ensuring cultural respect and contextual understanding.
