My Project

Using resources from Feierabend we will incorporate classic folk songs and literature together to build a better musical knowledge base. Making reading fun and interactive while building musical skills brings out the best creative skills from our students. I teach in two schools and impact many low income students. They will have the opportunity to learn and create while utilizing social skills like cooperation and teamwork to create and perform for themselves and others. This small project will provide hours of growth for hundreds of students for years to come.
