My Project

Rhythm sticks and wrist bells will be a great addition to our classroom. These materials will benefit student learning by allowing me to incorporate music into daily learning activities. These fundamental resources will give students the opportunity to explore rhythm and sound.

Music improves motivation, confidence, and overall achievement in early childhood.

My students come from a variety of demographics and experiences. Their differences make them unique! Adding music into student learning provides them with a common goal while giving them the opportunity to individually express themselves. Music enhances mood and brings people together. My goal is for students in my classroom to come together through music to learn and grow.
