My Students

Do you want to help keep music education alive in the public schools?

My students range from Kindergarten through eighth grade.

We are very culturally diverse with a break down of 36% Latinos, 28.8% African American, 14% Caucasian, and 15.3% Asian. The implementation of the World Music Drumming curriculum this year has been a great source of learning to tap into the many cultures our school has.

My Project

A smartboard in our classroom will significantly improve instruction. Visual learners will benefit from a variety of improved graphic notation, charts, etc., as well as video and audio presentation of lessons. Organization of lessons will also drastically improve and will aid in more thoroughly executed lesson plans.

I am the general/vocal music teacher, as well as band director at an inner city school.

Organization for teaching nine grade levels as well as directing a very busy rock band has become increasingly more difficult. A smartboard will allow me to execute my lesson plans and present them in a more efficient manner than ever before!
