My Project

My goals with incorporating classroom instruments fits right into our curriculum. We currently use rhythm sticks in class, and they are awesome! Learning note reading is also a skill we want our students to master in middle school.

With more classroom instruments, our students will have the variety they need to successfully move as the curriculum does .

We want our NAMS students to make music, and any instruments will be a great start!

As the year has gone on, I appreciate my students' willingness to participate in class discussions - now it's time to make some beautiful music!
