Classical Music is a Must
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Scalzetti's classroom raised $181
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 Project
As a new music teacher, I believe children should be exposed to classical music.
It has been scientifically proven that listening to classical music has a significant impact on the brain. While playing it is easy with a computer and a SmartBoard, books teaching classical history are harder to come by.
These books are interactive and allow the children a tactile experience while learning. Some are geared more for the upper grades of 2nd through 5th, while others are appropriate for Pre-K through 1st grade.
I believe these books would go a long way in teaching children classical music.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
