My Students

The school I teach at is quite special, as we are the first Expeditionary Learning School in our state! This learning model is more hands-on, more real world, and more student-led. We focus on academics AND character building. It is an exciting model that we're all quite proud to be a part of!

I may be biased, but my students are the best in the world!

They are curious, exciting, musical, thoughtful, loving, and all around good kids. They come from various backgrounds and homes, but we work together so well. We are a CREW through and through!

Students absolutely love coming to music class! I see each class every three days and they make sure to tell me in the hallway, "We have music today Ms. Ashley!" with the most exciting look on their faces. It's an amazing feeling to see them enjoy the art of music so much.

My Project

In our music classroom, we are working very hard to create a guitar class! My students are very excited to learn to play! However guitars are expensive. We are working on adding to our collection one guitar at a time.

Learning to play guitar is a skill that my students will be able to have for their entire life.

It is a skill that will allow them to create and enjoy music forever! I could not be more excited for the opportunity to teach them to play! Guitar is an easily accessible instrument that gives people an outlet for their musical ideas. I can not wait to give my students that ability!
