Our school is creating a wonderful atmosphere for the students. It has become a school with an arts focus. Starting a new music program that allows the students to thrive as musicians is something I aim to do.
Music creates focused, engaged, and passionate students by allowing them opportunities to foster their creativity.
The students are excited about the change and I want to start this upcoming school year on the right foot by supporting their creativity on day one.
My Project
Keeping music alive in schools Is something that is necessary. Teaching through a pandemic has been interesting but I would love to give my students their own ukulele so that they can still play but also are being safe.
Last year our fourth grade students had so much fun learning how to play the ukulele.
I definitely want to continue that tradition with this year’s fourth grade students.
Learning to play a musical instrument significantly improves math scores. It also helps to set up students for success when learning how to play other instruments throughout their life.
Please help me to help the student be able to play ukulele this year.
