This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are thriving young musicians. They are exploring all aspects of piano and vocal performance from music literacy, sight reading skills, solo, and ensemble experiences. I share this idea with my students often. "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." Aristotle.
Our school is in the heart of a community that supports education and knows its value.
Students are motivated and engaged. Students are eager to learn; they embrace a challenging work environment and they desire to be the best in all endeavors.
My Project
The headphones will be used to enhance students listening skills. The design of the headphones works well with the smart music platform and listenining center in my classroom. Being able to serve more students through class rotations, helps with large ensembles. In the listenining center, the headphones support aural skill development and individual sight singing. The items listed will help students by providing another layer of support for mastery of musical concepts.
Art courses often face funding limitations.
All items gained from this project will help support an enhance the overall goal of reaching and supporting students through different learning modalities.
