My Students
I am lucky to work with an incredible group of young people. They are a diverse group that represents all socio-economic levels and a wide variety of backgrounds. I teach music classes, and my students are total beginners, prodigies, and everywhere in between.
In order to help these incredible young people reach their potential, we need an effective classroom.
My Project
Nevada K-8 music standard MU:Pr6.8.1 reads: “Perform the music with technical accuracy, stylistic expression, and culturally authentic practices in music to convey the creator's intent.” Double bass represents the foundation of the orchestra, the rest of the ensemble relies on it in order to perform accurately.
How can a musician interpret music accurately and expressively if their instrument is damaged?
Double basses are incredibly fragile, and if they are not stored properly, they are especially vulnerable to damage. Without proper storage, these instruments become tripping hazards blocking pathways in music rooms. My class suffers from this problem more so than normal; I have the same sized ensembles with a much smaller classroom. Not only would this stand help keep our instruments safer, but our students safer too.
