Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Many of my students do not get the opportunity to create and explore music via the piano.

Granted they are exposed to it by my playing, but they do not have the chance to actually play it. My school is Title I and the majority of my students have only seen a piano/keyboard in my classroom and not outside of the school.

My Project

The project I am trying to produce with my students is a music keyboard lab. With this lab students will be able to play the keyboard and create music that they would not have had the opportunity to do without this project.

Studies show time spent playing the piano/keyboard improves mental health, relieve stress, bolster self esteem.

Playing the piano also improves test scores/school performance. Locomotor skills are enhanced as well. As they progress, they will be able to do team and independent work to build musicianship and to be able to practice socialization.

First and foremost is to give all students a chance to play keyboards in class without sensory overload. They can control the volume while they play, use headphones to block out other noises and continue to practice without the other distractions. This will enhance the environment not only in the classroom but on the concert stage as well.
