My students need books including music biographies and resources about music history and instruments to build a music library for the general music classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Farrand's classroom raised $409
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My middle school General Music classroom is a place of creativity, sharing, and learning. In general music class, students develop foundation skills by performing on instruments, analyzing music, creating music with music technology, and deciphering music notation.
The students attend a metropolitan middle school in a large city in the Midwest.
Ninety-seven percent of the student population identifies as Hispanic, and ninety-eight percent of the student population is low income. My students are ambitious learners, excited to learn about the world around them, and eager to learn how to play musical instruments.
My Project
I am requesting numerous books to build a music library for the general music classroom at the middle school. The titles requested include biographies of Jazz musicians, classical composers including Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Beethoven among many others. Students will be able to study the development of instruments and instrument families from around the world.
Students will trace the development of classical music, Jazz music, music of India, Africa, and Mariachi music with the books and CDs in the music library.
These resources will be used in small group and individual projects to support music history and performance projects where students learn about development of music and instruments of the world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
