Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Music is a subject that my students have grown to love at school. There are many tools that would make this easier and Orff xylophones are one of them. They give the students the opportunity to learn about music through actually creating and performing.

Carl Orff and Orff instruments release creativity that extends far beyong the music classroom.

This approach can build musicianship in every learned through music, movement, speech, and drama.

These instruments would be a new way to get Weil students excited about music class through playing, imitating and performing.
