My students are not given the opportunities that other schools are able to give their students. Majority of my students will only have a chance to attend music symphonies and let alone play a musical instrument in a music classroom. I will use the materials and equipment to provide those opportunities to my students who are less fortunate. Many of my students are written me letters thanking me for opening doors and encouraging them to accomplish their dreams. As a music teacher, my job is to discover their musical talents and positively push them to take chances. I am asking for glockenspiels because students will be able to play familiar songs and hear creative melodies of their own. For students who are not able to grasp the concepts of recorders, they will be provided with an additional resource. Students will then have to chance to feel more comfortable with their own unique talents.
