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 have been teaching at this school since October 2016. I teach in a pre-kindergarten to 8th grade school with around 750 students; I see all of them. These students come from various cultural backgrounds. Forty three percent of the school is ELL (English Language Learners.) There are very large sized classes and varied levels of English speaking students.

Since I am in a poverty stricken neighborhood, resources are very limited.

These students have very limited instruments in our music classroom.

Being a young, new teacher, this is very challenging to support myself and my classroom. The reason I am asking for this is because my students deserve a classroom that right now I can not give them. I want to help my students in every way and I hope you can help me, help them.

My Project

My students are learning music like the same way they learned their first language- by making music. By using songs new and old, students are being submerged into the language of music and recreating classic charts while they are at it.

The use of a bass guitar provides foundational sound in music that helps develop a young musician's ear.

By learning the bass, my students are hearing the bass part of the song to help develop their ears to follow harmonic progressions. The students are eager to pick up instruments and work toward their goals and learn new songs. The bass will take their music learning to the next level.
