Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach general music in an inner city public school in Indiana. Our school has almost 850 students and many are very much involved in the arts. I have a handbell choir, a folk dance team, and two choirs. I am very fortunate to have students who are excited about participating in these groups.

My favorite day of teaching is Friday because it's then that I meet with my choirs.

One choir consists of a hard-working group of 60-70 students who love to sing and dance. They not only perform for our building, but travel to other schools in the spring. My other choir consists of twenty of my most talented students who perform for various events throughout the school year. For the past four years, thanks to DonorsChoose.org, my choirs have been able to work with a choreographer. The students absolutely loved the experience! Not only did they learn the movement to several songs, but they also learned the importance of being a good performer: having eye contact with the audience, having good facial expressions, and being professional throughout the performance. Even some of my uncoordinated students steadily improved!

My Project

This year, I would like to have the same choreographer do six one hour workshops with my choirs so that they can learn some "professional" moves to their new songs. My students are enthusiastic, love to sing AND dance, and would benefit greatly from having a guest choreographer.

This year's choir is going to be "Rock, Rhythm and Roll(ing)" and "Rockin' Jerusalem!" You'll be shouting "Hallelujah" as we "Rise Up" and dance to the "Beach Boys Blast" and the "Dance Evolution!" Our feet will be moving "Like the Beat of a Drum." We can't wait to learn the choreography to our new songs!

Thank you for considering my project!
