My Students

My students are hard-working and love music! They especially love exploring instruments during this time when we are not allowed to sing in school.

All students deserve a quality music education, and that's what I try to give them every day.

Through dancing, movement, instruments, and vocal exploration, it is my goal to create lifelong lovers of music!

My Project

During the pandemic, there are restrictions in place that do not allow singing or the playing of recorders. With these safety precautions, I am greatly limited on how to effectively teach my curriculum. In order to keep my students learning and engaged, I decided to purchase 12 keyboards out of school funds.

Every child deserves an instrument.

However, for safety, students cannot share these instruments; some students are left pretending to play on a paper keyboard. These keyboards are allowing me to teach melodies and songs, music theory, and composition. But we need more to keep all students engaged, to give all students a chance to explore their love for music.
