FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Foster's classroom raised $517

Celebrating 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 Students
My students are highly motivated, highly diverse, and highly dedicated to music and school. They love exploring sound and songs through our classes. They respect their equipment and love using the instruments and tools to further their learning.
My students work together in harmony to create harmony.
They explore our culture by singing and dancing to folk songs. They learn history by exploring the composers and their famous musical works. They learn about sound and instrumental techniques by playing recorders, xylophones, drums, and ukuleles.
My Project
My K-5 students make music every day, and they grow so much in their music education every day, month, and year. However, sometimes it's hard for them to evaluate their own performances, especially when they're in the middle of the performance. I want my students to be able to hear themselves in a song and be able to critique their own performance to find spots in the song where they shine and spots where they need to make adjustments. I also want them to be able to hear their own growth and improvement over time.
If I can make high-quality recordings of my students' musical performances, I would be able to put my students into the director's seat and make my instruction more student-centered.
Instead of Mrs. Foster telling the students how to improve, the students can take their learning into their own hands and critique themselves. Evaluating their own recorded performances will also sharpen their ear and develop their skills for critiquing music in general, which is one of our music state standards.
