I teach every child in my school, and feel privileged to do so! As the only elementary music teacher in our Title I school in rural North Carolina, I use creative resources to reach all of my students, including English Language Learners, Exceptional Children, and those receiving speech, physical therapy, and occupational therapy services.
My students are the world's music makers, risk-takers, and movers and shakers who will accomplish great things in their lives.
The motivation my students show in the music room spills over into their classrooms and makes our school community an amazing place to grow and learn.
My Project
Music should be accessible to all students of all ages. While some enjoy singing or dancing, others excel by applying what they know on an instrument. Ukuleles provide an opportunity for each student to excel in a new area of music. Using their new ukuleles, students will learn to tune their instruments, play notes and chords, and sing our favorite songs as they accompany themselves.
By adding ukuleles to our music curriculum, my students will have more chances to succeed.
Understanding chords and individual notes will be easier when we can apply our knowledge to our ukuleles. We will also use our new ukuleles with our current classroom instruments, adding new timbres to our class ensemble.
My students are music makers and world changers, and learning the ukulele will allow them to further explore how music can change our world
