My Project

My title "'The Theme' is Black History" is a tribute to the great Miles Davis. I teach school in a very diverse city that highlights Black history every February! As I am a music teacher, I would love to give my students some visuals of famous African American musicians. I am asking for you to help me obtain posters to decorate my music classroom. This will help the students visualize who the music is coming from as I play it for them, and allow them to research African American musicians as part of their assignments. These posters will also bring some ambiance to an otherwise somewhat undecorated classroom.
