My Project

My students are an inspiration to me when it comes to music education. They are excited sponges that just love to absorb knowledge and expand their creative selves. It's truly amazing how quickly they learn new things.

Fun, excitement, and engaged learning are all words that describe my music classroom.

My school is a Title I school with one hundred percent free lunch. We have amazing families and a school community that is highly active when attending events; however, financial assistance is always an area that is needed to be supplemented by amazing programs likes DonorsChoose.

My students come to music once a week and they just want to play all the instruments and participate. My music classes are full of singing, movement, and instrument playing.

My Project

Bucket drumming is an awesome way for students to develop rhythm, beat, and teamwork skills by working together as a music ensemble. This teamwork aspect helps the student develop socially and emotionally as well.

Last year, I got a bucket drumming project funded through Donorschoose and it has been so successful and the bucket drums/ instruments have been used by every student in the school. This project is to expand our inventory of bucket drums so more students can play at one time.
