My Students

Students enjoy exploring different instrument tones and timbres. In my classroom, they play a variety of instruments and ensemble pieces. They learn to accompany the music they sing! My goal is for students to be able to perform the music on their own without a teacher accompaniment.

In our music program, we work to provide a strong and comprehensive music education for all of our students.

The school is very supportive of arts education.

The students themselves have a variety of musical interests and passions, including singing, recorders, ukuleles, guitars, drumming and percussion ensembles.

My Project

My music classroom is on the school stage with hard wood floors, which can be uncomfortable for students when seated. The high ceilings in the space also gives a very live acoustic, amplifying the sound, and making hearing more difficult for music instruction. This project is seeking a carpet to help provide more comfortable seating as well as dampen some of the live acoustic sound.

A large, high quality carpet would help enhance the learning experience for students.

The classroom rug requested for this project is a circular shape with musical symbols. This addition would help facilitate organized seating for circle activities. The different colors will help with organizing students into groups as appropriate for a variety of learning experiences they have in music.
