My Students

Help our inner creativity come out! We want to play, create, and record music with real instruments!

I teach first through fifth grade gifted students at a public school in Georgia.

They are so enthusiastic about learning. My students are very inquisitive and love to learn and explore. My students really enjoy hands-on learning and project based learning. They love having their hands involved in their learning!

My Project

My students will learn about rhythm and create songs using the 6-Piece Rhythm Set, cactus rainstick, multicultural rhythm set, rhythm band floor tom, and a xylophone that I am requesting. They will also use Plaster of Paris strips, washable glitter paints, life form fish replica, and Egyptian papyrus paper to enhance their learning of Japan and Ancient Egypt.

My students will love the opportunity to play instruments and create music of their own by having other musical instruments to add to the guitar that we have now.

The art supplies will enrich their study of Japan and Egypt by giving them hands-on materials to create art from both cultures.
