My Students

My school is a Title 1 school, with a diverse community of students, varying in languages and cultures. The students in my school enjoy coming to the music classroom, because it allows them to approach learning through multiple pathways, such as performing, listening, reading, writing, speaking, singing and moving. In the music classroom, I provide all of my students with a variety of learning styles and techniques, including active listening, While my students are exposed to popular music on a daily basis, it is my goal to provide them the exposure to various musical genres and expand their personal music knowledge.

My Project

If granted the tools for a music classroom listening station, students will be able to apply higher order thinking skills in the classroom. Student will be able to analyze the essential elements of music while developing their musical skills. Students will be able to apply collaborative skills and discuss musical themes with classmates, without limitations. With the ability to listen to music individually, limiting surrounding noises and distractions, students can improve evaluative listening skills. My students will be given a wonderful opportunity to make personal connections with all genres of music. With the help of a listening station, my students will be inspired and interested in listening to various musical genres and styles inside and outside of the music classroom.
