My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with a creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My band room is full of awesome and hardworking students.

They come from very diverse backgrounds and financial needs. We are proud of these differences and the students enjoy learning from each other.

My Project

These new tuners will be used every day in Band rehearsal to help students fine tune their instruments. All students will benefit; from my beginners to my most advanced players. (They will especially help my trombone players find the correct slide positions!)

The use of tuners helps to maximize instructional time.

We currently have a few classroom tuners, that we are able to use daily, but the students must share with 1-3 other Band members and sometimes do not get to use one at all some days. Each member having their own will speed up the tuning process and give them a visual if their instrument is flat or sharp.
