My Students

The most joyous part of my day is the time that I get to spend singing and playing song experience games with my students. I teach in a school that serves a community that is both strongly connected and beautifully diverse. My students are excited to learn and especially enjoy music class. When attending music, students spend their time singing, playing games, playing instruments, listening to and moving to music. These activities foster opportunities for students to become musically literate through activities that include reading, writing and creating music.

Every student at my school attends music about 5 times each month which means that every instructional minute is precious.

Students in the 5th grade are given the opportunity to represent our school in a voluntary choir which meets before school. The 5th-grade choir rehearses twice a week and performs around our community.

My Project

When learning about music, the right resource can make ALL the difference. My students need listening maps and songs to help them learn about the instruments of the orchestra. Additionally, my students need a music book with songs and choreography from around the world in order to learn more about each other and how to be a fantastic citizen of the world. Finally, my students need a book of recorder music with updated arrangements and accompaniments. Each of these resources will be used as part of the daily instruction in music class and it is highly likely that these books will contain music that students will eventually prepare for a performance.
