My Students

I teach in a classroom where we are excited about what we do. We are expressive, critical thinkers. We take risks, we learn from our mistakes, and we celebrate our successes.

I teach orchestra to approximately 200 students in grades 6 through 8.

We are learners and musicians. We are excited about what we do, and we use music to explore the history, science, literacy, and other arts. My students are racially and socioeconomically diverse, but they all have one thing in common: they are aspiring musicians.

My Project

My students are creative, brilliant thinkers! Every day, they impress me with their ideas and out-of-the-box thinking.

I want my students to have the opportunity to unleash their creativity in the orchestra classroom.

Too often, we speak about music classrooms as outlets for creativity without actually providing students with the opportunity to really explore the outlets for music creation.

These boomwhackers will allow my students to explore harmony, rhythm, composition, and improvisation in a fun way. They will allow kids to step outside of their comfort zone. My students will learn via my favorite method---fun and play!

Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom learning!
