Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students currently use one dated piano textbook for their whole curriculum. The books have seen better days. I came up with the idea of using a mix of different brands of piano books, plus what I can write on my own, to create a customizable piano textbook.

I want to use binders to customize my piano curriculum for Piano Lab 1 and 2.

This will allow me to create a textbook that better suits the students at this school. This will also allow me to create piano textbooks for our English Second Language learners, students with accommodations, and students with advanced skills.
