My Students
I have the pleasure of teaching at one of the largest, and most diverse high schools in Mississippi. We are located in the upper north part of Mississippi, minutes away from Memphis, TN. My students range from grades nine through twelve and more than half of them are from low-income households.
My choirs have a large spectrum of personalities, backgrounds, and come from many different walks of life.
My students aren't afraid to be themselves, something I admire them for. They are intelligent, talented, courageous, young people that are going to change the world. Music is what brings us together. I am happy that my classroom is where young people can put their differences aside and come together for a common goal, which is to make beautiful music.
My Project
As a classroom teacher, I realize the importance of catering to all of the different learning styles. Some students are more auditory learners while some are more visual and kinesthetic learners. In choir, it is easy to cater to the students that are auditory learners, but it can sometimes be difficult to come up with creative hands-on activities. We spend a great deal of time talking about the anatomy of the voice, but I would like to have more hands-on aids.
So much of vocal instruction is imagery and explanation, I would like for my students to have a tangible model.
Please help me provide my students with a model of the vocal mechanism, an anatomical nasal cavity, and books about the voice.
