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
Long gone are the days of singing from textbooks while the music teacher pounds away at the piano. At our school, we are arts infused with a focus on performance for ALL students!
My students attend a school that uses a rigorous arts infused curriculum to prepare students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade for college.
Therefore music is an important part of this formula. This year there is a strong emphasis on performance because it provides students with the opportunity to shared musical skills and talents with the school community.
My Project
Your donation of steel drum mallets will mean that my students have the equipment necessary to create and perform Caribbean music in the upcoming spring concert. Students will also increase their background knowledge as they learn about the history of the steel drums and countries in the Caribbean.
The act of creating and sharing music with the school community will develop students' musical selves and result in many proud moments that students will remember for many years to come.
