My Project

These resources will help the students create and perform great concerts and other school performances throughout the school year. Having these items will greatly benefit them by learning about the specific types of technology that are geared toward music and music creation in the 21st century. My students are unique and resourceful in many different aspects. Giving the gift of music is something I always talk about. Music is the language we all can speak even if we come from different cultures, countries, or walks of life. The gift of music first starts with the self, then the group, and then we find ways to allow others to join us in the process of music-making. It is truly a joy watching young musicians grow and become.
