My Project

As Maria Montessori said, “The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity.” A well-lit, calming space supports focus, creativity, and comfort, making it easier for students to immerse themselves in music.

A movable desk would be incredibly helpful in my elementary music classroom, allowing me to easily transition between conducting, demonstrating, and assisting students.

The flexibility to reposition my workspace ensures that I can engage with my students more effectively, creating a dynamic and interactive environment. Additionally, fluorescent light covers and a lamp would help soften the harsh lighting, fostering a more peaceful atmosphere.
