Music - More Than Just Playing Around!

My students need recorders in 3rd grade to get them reading music, and involved in a performance ensemble!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Manuel's classroom raised $663

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are truly a joy to teach! Their enthusiasm for Music and the Arts is inspiring - and as educators, we are always looking for ways to enhance young lives through routine, rote, and repetition, and Music is the way that I can reach AND teach!

The different learning styles of my population are exciting, and I am always looking for ways to make my lessons more colorful and bright - books, posters, and technology are key tools for me!

My students are eager to learn, and are great singers! We thank you!

My Project

These recorders and poster sets will help me to establish a firm musical foundation in the classroom. With no instrumental music program in the Elementary School, we can learn to read and perform music in 3rd grade!

If we can listen to and appreciate music as a class that was written over 200 years ago - we just gotta know what these people look like, right?

I love to study the music of Beethoven, Bach and Bizet with my students - they develop a whole new appreciation for the musicians as we learn about their struggles in life, and what they overcame to become the legends they are even now!
