My Students

I teach elementary music, band, and choir at two small schools in our district. In my music classroom, we are learning the fundamentals of music, like notation and rhythm. Music should be a fun class to attend, so we like to learn by playing games and getting out instruments. The students have music once per week for forty minutes.

We have a very enthusiastic group of students who love to learn and have fun at the same time.

My students show such pride in their school, district, and our town.

My Project

I am asking for two Samsung Galaxy Tablets with Armorbox covers and a SanDisk Ultra Card. My students will use these tablets in small groups to enhance their learning in music class. There are so many apps and websites that can be used to supplement our learning, plus many projects that cannot be done without access to technology. Students have access to iPads, Chromebooks, and computers in their classrooms but this project will help bring the music room into the 21st century.

These tablets will allow my students to dig deeper and learn music in new and exciting ways.

Students will be able to use them to research, play games, listen to music, watch videos, and more. This will be a way for students to dig deeper into what we are studying and learn more about what interests them.
