My Project

My students love music, but for some, participating can feel intimidating. Whether they’re shy, learning English, have special needs, or are nervous about singing in front of others, I want to give them a fun and supportive way to find their voices.

Puppets provide a safe and engaging way for students to express themselves.

For English language learners, puppets encourage speaking and singing without fear of making mistakes. For students with special needs, they offer a multisensory, interactive way to engage in music. And for those who are simply shy, having a "friend" to sing and speak through can turn hesitation into confidence.

Your support will bring these engaging tools into my classroom, helping all students—no matter their background or ability—discover the magic of music. Thank you for helping my students find their voices!
