The students that I have the honor to teach are young - full of energy and joy. Kindergartners are like sponges, ready to absorb the world and drink in its wonders. KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) public charter schools, such as the one at which I am privileged to serve in our nation's capital, strive to create a loving learning community where low-income students can explore worlds beyond the limitations of their socio-economic status. For my Kindergartners music class is an opportunity not only to experience the breadth of the amazing imaginative world around them but to actually find their own voice in creating that world. The importance of this creative self-discovery goes well beyond any ability to merely play a musical instrument. For my students this is the first step in a long and, realistically, difficult journey toward achieving their dreams.
