My students are spirited learners who are eager to learn as much as they can about music! We are a diverse school with students from many different backgrounds who are all learning how to collaborate by making music together.
My students love to sing, play instruments, and be creative!
They love to compose and perform on classroom instruments. I strive to make sure that my students get an enriching and individualized experience in my general music class. I am always searching for ways to supplement my music lessons to keep them interested and inspired.
My Project
Rhythm is the cornerstone of music. My students love to read, create, and perform rhythm already, but they are in desperate need of some new ways to play them.
These lollipop drums will be an extremely fun and engaging tool to help my students make some serious music.
They can use them to create and improvise their own rhythmic patterns or to practice reading music notation.
Lollipop drums are accessible for all grade levels: they have a fun and vibrant pattern to grab every child's attention, and their mallets add an additional challenge for students who want to practice this percussion technique.
More than half of students from low‑income households
