Jazz Up the Music Curriculum!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrate Black Teachers and Students
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The music students at my school have a lot of energy, even at 7:00 in the morning. They come in and set up ready to learn. We have a small group at our school. We haven't had a music program for a long time so the group has not grown much and so our time gets cut more and more. Because of this, the students are in need of some materials that will support their ensemble size more effectively.
Music is important for developing many skills such as respect, responsibility, and teamwork. We want our students to experience music in many different ways.
71% of the students in this school qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. We want to give the students the tools to be successful and have fun in music. The addition of some new curriculum materials will really help our students begin to excel.
My Project
This project is to purchase new method books for our school's band program. We will use the Essential Elements Jazz books to begin teaching jazz to our students. This community thrives on this kind of music so the opportunity to teach jazz will get more kids excited to be in band.
We want to teach our students to be good musicians with the right materials.
Sound Innovations will teach our students to play as a group, and not just individuals.
The addition of these two things will challenge our students appropriately and teach them to be good musicians. My students need a lot of fundamental instruction and the addition of these method books will give them tools that they need to be successful.
