My Project
Children are energetic, creative, and full of potential. As a first-year music teacher, I’m excited to bring something fresh and fun to our classroom. I love how eager children are to explore and learn through music. Starting a bucket drumline will give them a chance to express themselves, build confidence, and learn the power of teamwork. The buckets and drumsticks will keep them engaged while developing rhythm and focus. These simple tools will help me create a music program where every student feels seen, empowered, and proud of their sound.
