Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Plato once said, "Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good and just and beautiful."
Our goal in music class is to help our future doctors, scientists, and teachers find their imagination through music.
My school is a Title 1 school with 76% of our students on free or reduced lunch, so the majority of them do not share the same experiences as some other children. Our ESL (English Second Language) population is 65% and we have 60 students who have recently arrived as immigrants from countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, and Thailand. The students at my school are brilliant minded and motivated to be successful in whatever they do.
My Project
Being a Title 1 school, 76% of our students are on free or reduced lunch, so their families struggle to financially provide for their kids to be included in something like extra-curricular music ensembles or lessons.
An "instrument team" is a non-auditioned music ensemble in which students would meet 1-2 times a week after school for one hour that would perform at local festivals, nursing homes, etc.
Myself and a few other music teachers in the area have discussed collaborating for community performances, but the resources I currently have inhibit our ability to travel and put on an acceptable looking performance, because the students would have to sit on the ground in order to play the "Orff" xylophones.
