My Students

My 650 students love music class! They come to my classroom ready to sing, dance, play, and experience the art of music. I am blessed to teach such passionate, excited students every day. They have such a strong sense of joy and love for music!

My Kindergarten to 4th grade students' sing, dance, play instruments, create, and imagine under my care and direction every week.

The music room is a happy, creative space in our school. I work very hard at creating a space that is nurturing and loving. The power of music helps them to feel happy and encouraged. I consider my classroom a positive, safe place for them to explore the art of music. When the leave my classroom they are smiling and energized.

My Project

I am working on making bucket drumming kits for my students! In each kit will be a bucket (recycled cans from our cafeteria!) filled with a sound plate, small tambourine, and drum sticks. Once created, the opportunities will be endless for bucket drumming and rhythmic work in my music classroom. We will play a wide variety of different genres and styles of music, and I help each child reach their full potential in rhythmic competency! My students will LOVE the bucket drumming kits they will be able to use for years to come!
