My Project

With these musical instruments, my students will be able to create their own music and benefit from increased growth in all areas of development including social emotional learning, motor skills, and language to name just a few. We will practice turn taking and sharing with the musical instruments. We can express our emotions through music. We can learn to move to a beat and practice listening skills as well. We will be able to tap into a variety of learning styles while exploring the world around us and provide an outlet of self expression.

My students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of instruments that each make a unique sound.

Music sets the mood and allows for smoother transitions and increased engagement with our young kiddos. With music anything is possible!

Thanks for helping bring an instrument into a young child’s hand.

Ms. Sarah
Grades PreK-2
