My Students

My students are full of life and excitement for music. Our school has many demographics and is full of diversity. Each student at our school comes through the music classroom twice a week and will be enriched by music throughout their entire time in elementary school. I try to incorporate instruments as much as I can to enhance my students learning experiences. My students love to learn new songs, dances, and instruments! We move from risers to the floor to dancing. It is a whirlwind of activity and joy!

My Project

My students love playing instruments and working together to make music come alive! The smaller instruments in our toy box are falling apart and many are not usable by students. The wood blocks have splinters, tambourines are missing pieces, and the head of a few of our tubanos are made of duck tape.

Increasing the variety of instruments will inspire students to create more music!

We will be able to perform pieces of music with multiple parts, textures, and timbres. Students will learn to work together and listen to each other. I cannot wait to use the finger cymbals for many fun activities!
