This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students love to compose and play instruments. They love coming to music.
Attending a Title I school, many students don't have access to instruments or enrichment activities outside of class.
I love giving them opportunities to play and enjoy various instruments. I try to include music from a variety of cultures for them to be proud of their heritage, as well as learn about others.
All of the students love getting to play instruments from around the world. They enjoy the hands-on change to their daily learning.
My Project
We will be adding a few flutes to our existing clarinet and flute connection. This is for the start of our school band. We will begin with a Woodwind Ensemble and hope to add more instruments each year until we have a solid band program.
To fulfill this dream we also need the right tools to be successful.
We will need books to teach us to play and read the music for our instruments. Standard of Excellence is a wonderful program that engages the students through CDs for home practice.
We also will be needing additional reeds for our clarinets as these are consumable and we would like to be prepared.
