My Students
The students at MWS are energetic, artistic and inspired musicians. The community of artists among the students, staff, and parents have created a deep love of music and performing arts.
The music program seeks to create a culture in which students can express themselves, perform, improvise and play while learning mastering musical concepts.
Every student in the school is in chorus programmed within their weekly schedule alongside their core music classes. Students in Kindergarten-Second Grade focus on keyboard study through Music and the Brain. Grades Three & Four focus on the recorder and Fifth Grade combines their experiences in class on Orff instruments.
My Project
All students at MWS are in chorus. Supplying almost 400 students with sheet music is very time consuming, difficult and costly, but the lack of printed music in their hands makes describing musical concepts in their repertoire difficult. Technology is lovely, but with over 100 students in each chorus, seeing the SmartBoard is not always easy.
With this mobile music whiteboard, students in chorus and in core music classes will be able to isolate and explore the musical concepts they are learning through the music they are performing.
We would be able to avoid the hassle of writing sloppy staff lines over and over again!
For example, if there is a difficult rhythmic passage in a song, students will be able to more easily dissect the rhythm by writing the rhythm out on the board and analyzing it.
