Research shows that music training boosts IQ, focus, and persistence. My 3rd-5th grade students here at Catoosa Public Schools have been greatly affected by the recent pandemic. None of them have learned to play the recorder in their elementary years of musical education. I would like to change that.
By giving students the opportunity to learn to play the recorder, they will gain increased confidence in their musical abilities and be better prepared for opportunities in middle school.
The other materials in my project will help us in a variety of ways. The rug will give us a place to gather on the otherwise hard floor. The foam pads will cushion our buckets and allow us to experience bucket drumming while being courteous to those with sensory issues. The buzzers will allow us to make learning fun with review games. The mochis will be a fun incentive prize for students. The colorful stickers will help create an effortless seating map. The pitch pipe will allow us to sing a capella both in and out of the music room.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
