James Madison is fortunate to have a licensed music teacher. I teach the Kindergarten through third-grade students. My students are so excited to learn about beat, self-expression, instrumental techniques, rhythms, melody, and improvisation. They have even learned how to compose. Learning Orff instruments have become a favorite part of music class--students look forward to playing these mid-range xylophones year after year. Purchasing soprano, alto, and bass instruments will enhance my students' enthusiasm and class engagement. We are planning our first concert this year and will perform the Orff instruments for the school community and families. My students will develop their social-emotional skills through music in the areas of "Sense of Belonging, Social Awareness, Grit, Self-Efficacy, and Emotion Regulation." I am looking forward to adding musical highs and lows so students can enjoy the full-range of harmony.
