Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Students

Do you remember tapping on your desk during class? Did your teacher scold you for it? In my class we encourage it however, we would like to be able to do it on a good set of drums rather than the floor.

My school is a Title 1 school where the majority of the students population is Hispanic and most are on free and reduced lunch with single parent families.

The school offers electives in art, music and health fitness but the students really love coming to music every Agatha's is my first year at this school and have very limited resources such as instruments to offer them. They are eager to learn but need more exposure to different instruments.

My Project

This year I have big plans for my music classes. With these drums I plan to teach rhythm, steady beat, how the vibrations are different for each size drum and how the sound is affected by how you strike them. The student will also be working on different math and counting skills by incorporating the length and beat of each note. We've been asked to perform a small program each month and have only been able to do vocal pieces. Drums would add a different dimension and more students to the performances.

Not all students can sing.

Given a variety of instruments students can not only choose what to play but feel better about themselves in the process. Allowing the students to experience rhythm instruments prepares them for the challenges of music in middle school and high school. This would make a huge impact on our music program for this year and many more to come.
