My Students
Our class motto is: Relentlessly Pursuing Excellence! Though we are a music class, we use music as a means to develop life skills like thinking and responsibility. We work as a team to create and enjoy high quality music.
Our school serves a high-poverty, at-risk student population in an urban setting.
With roughly eighty percent of our students on the free or reduced-price lunch program, many students struggle to pay for instrument rental or supplies. That said, the students in the music program go beyond the excuses to find ways to reach their potential. They overcome diversity and adversity while supporting each other in achieving success.
My Project
My students are passionate about learning music. We utilize technology in a number of ways to support our learning. Small devices like iPods allow me to put technology directly in the hands of my students.
An iPod Touch gives my students access to a metronome, tuner, audio and visual recorder and so much more, all in one device.
It makes a huge difference for students to be able to have access to apps like these while they are rehearsing and developing musical skills.
In addition, my students record videos of themselves performing exercises for use in online digital portfolios. An iPod will enable students to record and upload evidence of their work and help develop their overall musicianship.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
