My Students

My students are just simply AMAZING! They live in a low income suburb of Rochester, NY and are provided with free breakfast and lunch. Some live with their grandparents, in foster care, etc. They are up late taking care of their siblings. They have to get themselves up for school.

But even with these circumstances they are thriving in music!

They get on the bus an hour before school to attend our early morning band rehearsals. They give up their recess to help me sort music. They played the National Anthem at a local minor league baseball game in 40 degree, cold and rainy weather because "they worked too hard for the game/performance to be cancelled."

They make me want to be a better teacher and provide them with the musical supplies and materials their families may not be able to provide.

My Project

Back to school is certainly going to look different this year- especially for my band classroom. Almost every instrument I teach requires my students to use their mouths for blowing and breathing. Teaching and learning an instrument will be a unique experience this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

An air purifier will help ensure that I am providing a safe classroom environment for my students.

We will be one of the only classrooms where students will not be required to wear a mask to participate in active learning during their weekly lessons.

Thank you for any help supporting music in our schools!
