This project will aid in making either Music Exploration, Band or Orchestra class more enjoyable. In these classes, students are able to learn about the different musical genres, composers, and styles. Most students love to see colorful objects and to have something to actually play while in music class. We will use these instruments to create beats, have fun while learning, and so much more! Students will gain a variety of instrumental knowledge in how to use specific instruments for any type of genres. They will also learn how to act in a community classroom ensemble. They will recognized for staying on task, following the rules, being kind, and being a good person. They will use the instruments to detect various tempos of many different songs. I am so thankful for your help in supporting Meadowbrook Middle School musicians raise to the occasion!
