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 Students

My students are wonderful and talented! I teach music at a school in Chicago, Illinois. The students are low-income which makes essential necessities difficult to obtain. Many of the students find music as a way to venture out into new ideas and feelings that had never before been experienced. Most of the music students at our school go on to study music in high school and college. The parents and community love the music program and love seeing their children being successful in creating music.

My Project

Our middle school students learn the fundamental of drumming. In class, we learn how rock, pop, jazz, and alternative music on guitar, drums, piano, and voice. With an additional drum set in the classroom, we can maximize the amounts of the students that can learn drums at a time. This allows more students to learn and rotate instruments in a more efficient pace. This drum set will be used as a tool to teach students a side of music that they would't experience outside of music class. Having another drum set also allows for the students to perform in multiple areas for school performances.
