My students need the opportunity to SEE who it is we are learning about in music class. Students ALWAYS appreciate seeing who it was that composed the music. In addition to SEEING the composers, students love to see the instruments. The posters will give students a clear picture of WHAT the instrument looks like.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. M.'s classroom raised $241

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
I teach music in a HOUSE that the school purchased because they were full to capacity. I love teaching in my house and would love to make it seem more like the music classroom through posters WHILE using those posters to teach music.
I give each grade a family of instruments to learn. We listen to excerpts of the instruments, learn the names and then are tested on it later in the year. Students enjoy learning about the instruments, especially if they are expecting to learn one of the instruments later in 5th grade. The pictures on the posters are BEAUTIFUL and they show the instruments so well. The composer posters are also beautifully well done and students are better able to remember WHO composed a piece of music if they see the composers picture while listening to the piece.
I would love to have a set of the musical instruments posters from woodwind and brasswind so that students can learn their instruments (as is a state requirement). In addition I would love to add the pictures of modern and classical composers to my classroom to help students SEE the people who composed the great music literature
You will help me better serve the needs of my students by empowering them with visual aides to go with my auditory examples. Students learn better with multisensory techniques and YOU can help me make that happen with music.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
