My Project

As an educator, I connect with my students as we begin to form relationships from day one. I value what each student brings to the table and envision them feeling represented culturally. I respect each child for who they are, and I want my middle schoolers to feel visible and valued and see themselves. I aim to recognize and value my students' identities and help shine a light on who they are and who they may become. What better way to do this than through music. Music is part of who we are and our life experiences. Music brings us together and connects people.

Music supports culturally responsive teaching as I find ways to incorporate my students' cultures into our classroom community.

Representation of various cultures and backgrounds can be found through the diversity in our curriculum itself.

I am requesting a clarinet to be used for our band classes. Many of our current instruments are in various states of disrepair and need lots of funds spent on maintenance.

Our music curriculum includes music by diverse composers such as Soon Hee Newbold and William Owens. Learning the stories behind the composers and the music is part of understanding the music I teach. This helps us to see ourselves reflected in the composers and musicians whose music we learn to play. These musical instruments make playing in the middle school band possible!

Our students utilize school-provided instruments and equipment every year, and our ability to provide these instruments is a critical part of the success of our music program.
