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 Project

In my multimedia class, I am teaching my students the piano since they need the background to work with midi keyboards. They will be able to put notes together to create chords, then create chord progressions, to then be comfortable to create their own music for their own creative projects.

The headphones will help them focus and diminish the noise they hear from the surrounding pianos.

They have different melodies in their head, they just need to learn the knowledge to put it all together and the headphones will help them achieve those tasks.
