Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Teaching recorder is yet another tool to add to a student's aural skills toolbox. They have to be able to hear the music before they play it so they know if they played it correctly or not. Playing the recorder helps build up their inner hearing, which will help them in other aspects of music class.

By playing the recorder, helps my students to develop hand-eye coordination, breath control and gives our students the opportunity to play together as a group.

Working in a Title I school this gives my students the opportunity to learn how to play instruments and give my students the appreciation on how to take care of their instrument.
