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

My students come to music class eager to move, create, and express themselves through sound. Keeping our instruments and space clean with disinfectant spray and wipes ensures a safe, healthy environment for everyone. Pencils, paper, and markers help bring musical ideas and rhythms to life, while magnetic letters support learning music theory.

These tools empower every student to actively participate, feel the beat, and grow in confidence.

Egg shakers and hands-on materials make music class creative, inclusive, and inspiring every day. With these resources, I can provide a rich, engaging experience that nurtures every child’s love of music.
