My students are spirited learners who are eager to learn as much as they can about music! We are a diverse school with students from many different backgrounds who are all learning how to collaborate by making music together.
My students love to sing, play instruments, and be creative!
They love to compose and perform on classroom instruments. I strive to make sure that my students get an enriching and individualized experience in my general music class. I am always searching for ways to supplement my music lessons to keep them interested and inspired.
My Project
A new xylophone and mallets will inspire my students to create, perform, respond and connect to music in my class. Xylophones are accessible instruments for students of all grade levels because the removable bars can be adjusted to allow every child to find success.
Students can improvise and compose on xylophones, which makes them an essential component of every class instrumentorium.
Creating music is one of the ways that children can take ownership of their learning in my classroom.
In addition to creating and composing, I know that my students will also enjoy reading melodic and rhythmic patterns on this brand new instrument. It will be a critical tool to enhance the overall sound of our class ensembles.
More than half of students from low‑income households
