My Project
My students are an inspiration to me when it comes to music education. They are excited sponges that just love to absorb knowledge and expand their creative selves. It's truly amazing how quickly they learn new things.
Fun, excitement and engaged learning are all words that describe my music classroom.
My school is a Title I school with one hundred percent free lunch. We have amazing families and a school community that is highly active when attending events; however, financial assistance is always an area that is needed to be supplemented by amazing programs likes DonorsChoose.
Over the last few years, I've been writing projects that encourage learning through fun and the've been making such a positive difference in the behavior and overall music skill level in my students. The philosophy is this; when kids are truly in their element of excitement and producing music, then their creative inspired natural abilities start to formulate without them even realizing that they are learning. This project is for Black Light Reflective Glow Drum Sticks and Rubber Tips. I want my students to play like the Blue Man Group and not only sound great but have that excitable creative edge. Plus this will inspire the younger students at my school when they see the older students perform, creating a motivating upward trend of success.
