My Project

I would like to create an outdoor extension of our music room to include an accessible space for all students on campus to participate in music making. This space will provide new ways to experience and explore sound and movement

My students love any opportunity to play instrument and to be outdoors.

Studies have shown over and over how our mental health benefits from music making and being in nature.

I feel this project will meet our music class standards and get our kids moving and grooving in a new and creative way.
