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
Our music department is booming - we're at a point where all of our classes are literally overflowing with a diversity of students. Students range from complete beginners with no previous experience, to students playing since a young age, to those in top honors ensembles.
Regardless of experience, what makes our music students stand out is their hunger and thirst for new experiences.
Students can choose from a variety of classes including: Keyboard, Guitar, Beginning Band, Beginning Strings, Advanced Band (Marching and Concert Band), Percussion Ensemble, Mariachi, Chorus, Chamber Choir, and AP Music Theory. Other extra-curricular groups include: Pep Band and Jazz Ensemble.
My Project
This project is to get a complete classroom set of tuners to be used in all of our instrumental music classes. Music has the unique ability to incorporate multiple subjects within its curriculum. In this case we are focusing on the science-side of music.
Whether it be on the field, or in the classroom, any music group will sound larger, fuller, and better if they're all tuned correctly.
Not only do tuners benefit the group as a whole, but the individual player. Practicing in tune helps develop the ear of both the advanced and novice student. Many beginning brass players have a hard time differentiating their partials without a reference point.
How amazing is that this one small piece of technology can make a world of a difference in our students!
