COMMUNITY SERVICE: schools within penitentiaries

The Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project (APAEP) at Auburn University is a community of educators, artists, and students dedicated to bringing quality educational opportunities to people incarcerated in Alabama. APAEP believes that education provides fertile ground for all people to express their creative voice and vision, explore inherent curiosities, and cultivate a lifelong relationship with learning.


Auburn University’s Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project (APAEP) is a national leader in providing quality educational opportunities for people incarcerated in Alabama prisons. Since 2002, APAEP has offered a wide range of continuing education courses in the arts and sciences and recently expanded to offer incarcerated students who meet Auburn’s rigorous academic standards an opportunity to earn college credits while in prison.

The Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project is a program at Auburn University dedicated to bringing educational opportunities to prisoners in Alabama. The program helps the adult prison population gain a quality education and also fosters a relationship with learning that will continue to grow for the rest of their lives. APAEP provides access to sustained and quality educational experiences in the arts, humanities, and sciences. APAEP follows the premise that education provides a fertile field for transformation and growth and that these learning experiences contribute to the positive development of the person.

Anderson completed "The Typewriter" on October 9, 1950 "The Typewriter" received its first performance on September 8, 1953 

Bell structure

Its name refers to the fact that its performance requires a typewriter, while using three basic typewriter sounds: the sound of typing, the "ring" of the carriage return indicating an approaching end-of-line , and the sound of the typewriter’s carriage returning. 

It has been called one of "the wittiest and most clever pieces in the orchestral repertoire". Author Steve Metcalf has written that "Despite the almost total disappearance of typewriters in everyday life, the statistics show that "The Typewriter" is still a favorite Anderson item."
