My Project
The GIS Musical Movement Project is intended to improve the learning experiences of our 400+ students through movement based activities. The use of creative movement in music has been found to greatly improve student engagement and learning in music classes.
My students love any opportunity to creatively move to music, and with these experiences their knowledge and love of music is sure to blossom!
Activities with the parachutes will give students the opportunity to experience, visualize, and hear musical form, dynamics, weight, and expression in real time.
These activities will also enable students to begin practicing moving together in large and small groups with one combined goal, which helps to prepare them for working in any group setting. Activities with the ribbons and scarves will allow for more individual expression of their musical experiences. They also create a clear visual to help students not only hear, but also to see and feel the abstract concepts within music. By making their experiences more concrete, this project will make music more accessible and fun for ALL students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
