My Students

Our music department is a budding and growing program within our school. Over the last twelve years, we have increased enrollment exponentially within the choral program and theater program. My students come from a variety of different economic and ethnic backgrounds, which creates a rich culture in our school. I teach at a Title I school in Philadelphia where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. As the general music teacher for grades K-8, I have the privilege of working with all 500 students in my school. My goal is to create life-long learners, with the ability to be creative in their pursuit of education.

My Project

My students currently use the Music and the Brain program, which includes a comprehensive and engaging music literacy curriculum, teaching materials, and a classroom keyboard lab to be used as part of the school’s core curriculum.

Unfortunately due to Covid-19, I cannot use this curriculum because I will have to be mobile within the school.

Therefore, by purchasing these portable keyboards I can continue to teach piano to each student within their homerooms. This curriculum will help them build cognitive, attention, and fine motor skills to succeed academically and in life.
