My Project

My students are an inspiration to me when it comes to music education. They are excited sponges that just love to absorb knowledge and expand their creative selves. It's truly amazing how quickly they learn new things.

Fun, excitement and engaged learning are all words that describe my music classroom.

My school is a Title I school with one hundred percent free lunch. We have amazing families and a school community that is highly active when attending events; however, financial assistance is always an area that is needed to be supplemented by amazing programs likes DonorsChoose.

My students come to music once a week and they just want to play all the instruments and participate. My music classes are full of singing, movement, and instrument playing.

Learning should be fun and educational. An engaged student who is intrinsically motivated to learn is the ultimate goal for any educational setting. Over the last few years, I have been slowly transforming my music room into a glow zone. My instruments, the posters, and even the drum sticks light up or glow and the students love it. The last two years, we tested this out during a music performance by putting some black lights on the stage and the results were amazing. This year, I plan an doing a whole school collaboration with glow sticks. The students will learn some simple choreography that follows the beat of the music and help performance the final song as one school. Now we just need enough glow sticks for a rehearsal and the performance.
