My students love exciting new opportunities. My school is classified as Title I which means a large percentage of the student population is on free/ reduced lunch (lower socioeconomic status). Because of this, many of them may have limited access to resources and opportunities, so I look for new exciting opportunities through music that can inspire, nurture, and enrich their lives. This is my third year teaching music at my school, and ever since I began, my students have asked for guitars. Our music program currently owns just one guitar, and I began learning the instrument last year. I learned some chords and have played for my students in the mornings before the first bell rang. They were so intrigued with the instrument. They asked questions and wanted me to play more and more. A colleague notified me that the students entered their homeroom classes so calmly, with smiles on their faces, and ready for the day.
