My Students

I teach Elementary music at a Title I school. I have about 15-18 students in each of my music classes. My students love to sing and play instruments. I have been working to get my school enough plastic band instruments so that every one of my 5th graders can try being in band.

My Project

This project is specifically focused to develop rhythm and percussion ability in my 4th and 5th graders. I will use the drumsticks and practice pads for drumming unit for 4th grade. Believe it or not, to drum well takes practice. Students will learn to hold the sticks properly and practice playing on beat and reading rhythms. The 5th graders will get to use these instruments for percussion practice with the band. The drum practice pads are good for students to work on their drumming technique without the extremely loud noise. They are also just plain FUN! My students will love to learn and develop their drumming skills.
