Music can be used in so many ways, both in and outside of the classroom. For my students, music can be used to teach communication skills, to memorize cadences in reading, coping skills, math skills, and so much more. Learning to play an instrument has also been shown to increase stable connections in the brain, and improve students' learning. Music Therapy is also a widely used service in special education classrooms, but the gap between sessions could decrease the effectiveness of that therapy. Funding this project will allow me to enhance learning by using music and rhythm to teach various skills, and improve the quality of life for my students. In addition to this, music is accessible for all students, no matter their abilities. Some may not be able to see, hear, or grasp some of the instruments - but the rhythm can be felt by all. And having this wide variety of instruments and sounds will help me to reach each student in my classroom, regardless of their background. Thank you for your support and consideration, these tools will definitely be put to good use!
