My Students

There is so much to love about my students. They are extremely diverse, especially when it comes to music. They have such a broad range of interests and ideas on how to express themselves musically. I am amazed each day by their creativity and their ability to pick up on learning new music so quickly. For some, music is the way my students are able to express themselves.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my students' learning because they will give them a boost of confidence and reassurance that all of their hard work is worth it. I have a group of students who log online after-school and practice the violin and piano with me every day with a smile on their faces excited to learn!

What better way to show kids how awesome they are doing than by giving the gift of music?

The music journals will inspire my students to continue dreaming and never stop expressing themselves creatively. The bags will make them feel like they are growing up as they will soon be entering the middle school world. The face masks are great ways to express our love of music in a safe way! The hardcover books are great opportunities for students to keep reading but to also let the magic of books inspire them by reading a story about a brave young girl ready to never give up. My students deserve to be recognized for their hard work and I hope to be able to provide them with these special gifts!
