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

When I delve into new material in my world drumming curriculum with my students, we explore all that each song has to offer. It's my goal to reach out to all of the student body. My ultimate mission is to provide all students activities that engage both sides of the brain hemispheres at the same time via the power of music. As such, I have been acquiring materials for general music classes that cater to students of all shapes, sizes, and needs.

My taller males are having difficulty with using the soprano ukuleles and recorders lately.

The middle school child goes through a lot of physical changes, and I would like to continue to help all students feel successful in my classroom. No matter what the issue is, I want my students to make music and enjoy. Will you help me accomodate my students? Through you I can reassure the students that hands of all sizes are wanted and needed in my classroom.
