Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Project

My students' inventiveness, curiosity, and the joy they bring to the music room each day are what I adore most about them. When given the opportunity to express themselves, they shine brightly and come from a variety of backgrounds. They are storytellers, composers, and artists in our classroom, even though many of them lack access to basic art supplies at home. Despite their apparent simplicity, crayons and markers are used in our music class to write rhythms, illustrate songs, demonstrate how music affects students, and help them relate music to their feelings and imaginations.
