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 Students

My students are a very diverse group of kids who come from several backgrounds and economic statuses. The large majority of my students are Latino or identify within the race. My students have not had a regular teacher in well over a year now, and since I have joined this school, we have made great strides in connecting with each other as well as starting the process of making music.

My Project

I am wanting to revamp my music classroom so that it is a safe space for my students. In the current classroom, It is very bare and sterile in terms of learning. I am wanting to start this project in hopes of being able to better help my students learn, but also being able to create a space that will let my students feel comfortable. Every music classroom has this ability to be a safe space because music itself is very intimidating. When we play music, we become very vulnerable, not only to our peers, but to our inner thoughts as well. The purpose of this project is to help harbor my students' natural abilities to be able to learn, to make music, to be vulnerable and safe at the same time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
