My Project

As a music teacher, I love to see the enthusiasm the students exhibit when getting to explore and create music in the music classroom. Our school is in a rural area and crafty materials are not easily accessible. I love it when I can give my students a variety of materials to enhance their musical experience.

Including puppets in the music classroom will help stimulate the imagination, encourage creative play, and assist in vocal exploration.

By singing and speaking through puppets, students will become more confident and brave when singing and speaking alone or in a group.

The karaoke machine, markers, straws, and playdough will be an addition to igniting the imagination and allowing students to use their creativity in singing, composing, making instruments, and expressing musical concepts with their peers.
