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 Project

Studying musical theatre give our 2nd year musicians an opportunity to expand their understanding of music performance, by tackling a full production of a musical play. At our middle school, every class gets to take two years of music.

In the 6th grade, students are introduced to instrumental music for the first time.

They learn the elements of reading and performing music as a team/ensemble, in the first year. In the 7th grade, they are introduced to musical theatre. These productions are very rewarding to the students' growth as musicians, as well as learning about more careers options like; choreography, set designs, building props, lighting, etc.

When it comes to costumes, it can be too costly for the community that I serve, so we often use our imaginations when it comes to costume design. It would be a great enhancement to this project, if we could include materials that help transport our audiences into the stores/plays.
