My Project

I love sharing well-crafted, inspiring stories and creating music with my scholars. The joy and connection that is experienced when we do both of these activities in my classroom make teaching so worthwhile.

These biographies tell of courageous musicians who made an impact in their world and are an inspiration.

These books will help nurture a positive culture in our classroom. The bongo and cabasa will add different timbres and colors to our rhythm instrument collection and will give the scholars an opportunity to play a greater variety of instruments.
