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

We are in need of new books to help our students feel more comfortable playing songs for their concert. The Sound Differentiation book gives students a sense of control with their playing because they can choose to play a simpler melody or a more advanced part so that everyone is sufficiently challenged while playing the same song together!

Anyone who has ever played a musical instrument understands the work involved in learning how to play it properly and read music notes, and the value of helping students of all ability levels to learn fun songs and create beautiful harmonies with their class!

Some of my students have been struggling to remember the basics of music notation, and are not always motivated to practice their technical skills at home. But with a familiar song that they enjoy playing, they will be able to learn the notes quicker and feel eager to play it at home (while not realizing that they are practicing and improving!)

My goal is for them to feel a bigger sense of accomplishment when they have learned how to play a new song within a matter of days, and to feel confident and proud of themselves after performing it on stage for their family and friends.
