My Project

My students enjoy learning music, but its much more fun and beneficial to learn music the hands on way. With Staff whiteboards my students can learn to create their own piece of music and then play it on their xylophones.

My students can learn to read music like quarter notes, eighth notes, rests and so much more.

They can write music and learn to perform their musical composition. Many benefits come out of students learning to write and perform their own music which helps in their regular classes. Also builds confidence in their everyday lives by expressing themselves.
