This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our students come from a low socioeconomic background.
Many of our students are surrounded by music at church, but resources for studying music at school are limited.
Our students demonstrate a strong interest in music through consistent practice in the music classroom. We recently inherited a small selection of used band instruments. Most of the instruments are missing parts.
My Project
The equipment needed for this project includes mouthpieces for cornets, trumpets and trombones. The mouthpieces are an essential part of each musical instrument. Students need the mouthpieces in order to produce a sound on the instruments. We also need method books for oboe and baritone.
The beginning band program is an ongoing project involving fifth and sixth grade students.
Our students practice vocal music at school on a regular basis. They are hoping to perform band music at school for students, parents and the community.
