Help Inspire Low-Income Music Students to Make Stunning Music!

Help me give my students a pick-me-up with essential music classroom supplies (Craftsman Tool Kit and SoundTrance Bluetooth Speaker), educational and inspirational decor (posters and decorations), and rewards for living class values (candy and stickers.)

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 Students

I teach at a low-income, 75% Hispanic school. Many of my students come from very difficult backgrounds, but they still get up and go to school every day. My classes are VERY diverse.

My students have hearts of gold.

I never have to worry about them picking on or bullying students who don't fit in—instead, they do whatever they can to help each other succeed.

My Project

These materials support classroom and at-home music instruction in a variety of important ways. The music educational posters support students in developing technical skills needed to sight-read and perform music, as covered in MU.Pr4.2.EII, MU.PR6.1.EII. The tools and speaker are essential items for maintenance of orchestral instruments and for tuning procedures in the orchestra, tasks that support many of the music standards for traditional ensembles. The stickers are a reward that students can give each other as recognition for living class values and for excellent musicianship, a valuable SEL activity that also supports self-reflection and peer feedback practices as discussed in MU:Pr5.1.EII.

The inspirational posters and classroom decor are designed to transform a very drab classroom into a welcoming, inspiring space where students want to be.

Those items, along with the candy and other prizes, will help students want to be at school and will turn their minds away from the stress and fear of the pandemic and inspire a positive, healthy mindset.

All the materials purchased will support student learning and well-being for years to come. The speakers and tool kit are durable and will be useful for many years; the stickers are affordable bulk collections that will provide students desirable rewards they can select, with enough stickers to last years; the decorations are durable and will help enhance student mental well-being and learning for many years.

Standards addressed: MU:Cr1.1.EII, MU:Cr2.1.EII, MU:Cr2.2.EII, MU:Cr3.1.EII, MU:Cr3.2.EII, MU.Pr4.1.EII, MU.Pr4.2.EII, MU.PR6.1.EII, MU:Pr5.1.EII, MU:Re8.1.EII, MU:Cn11.1.EII.

[Note for NV state personnel evaluating this project: I attempted to follow the format specified in project instructions and had difficulty applying the subject-grade-standard format to high school music standards; I hope that the standards listed here, which follow the formatting convention used in the state standards, are clear enough.]
