My Students

I have the pleasure of teaching at one of the largest, and diverse high schools in Mississippi. We are located in the upper north part of Mississippi, minutes away from Memphis, TN. My students range from grades 9-12 and more than half of them are from low-income households.

My choirs have a large spectrum of personalities, backgrounds, and come from many different walks of life.

My students aren't afraid to be themselves, something I admire them for. They are intelligent, talented, courageous, young people that are going to change the world. Music is what brings us together. I am happy that my classroom is where young people can put their differences aside and come together for a common goal, which is to make beautiful music.

My Project

My students have asked me several times about getting music stands to hold their choir folders. I give them lots of music throughout the school year. The sheet music weighs their folders down and makes them difficult to hold.

Having music stands will keep my students' hands-free and allow them to incorporate more movement and kinesthetic gestures into our choral rehearsals.

In the beginning stages of learning music ( before it is memorized) it can be difficult to incorporate movement because the choir folders often get in the way. My students love to conduct themselves and move while singing. Having these music stands will allow them to move more freely.
