Building Mason’s Music Program

Help me give my students the perfect classroom to start their musical learning journies!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

I’ve been lucky enough to receive many of the musical materials I need to start Mason Elementary’s first elementary music program! There’s just a few more classroom essentials I need to make a perfect classroom for these students to experience quality music class on a regular schedule. There are so many ways to teach music to these age groups, from listening to performing to movement - each of these modalities require different materials to help students appreciate music in a way that they understand best. Music is also proven to help students in other academic areas, as it’s such a diverse content area, so by supporting Mason’s music program, you’re supporting these students’ learning in all areas.
