My Students

My school has been closed since March 13th and I have struggled with being able to teach students without the proper equipment and items at home.

My students are eager learners and I want to provide them with the best possible learning experiences from my home.

My Project

Teaching music teaches core subjects to students while learning the arts!! That sounds confusing but it is TRUE! Music teaches math, science, social studies and the all important English language arts.

I want to teach music like we are in the classroom while students experience live lessons with me.

The items I requested will help me make these lessons come to life and help the student feel that we are still together in class. I will be able to use the document camera to work on lessons with the students so they can see how we count rhythms, write basic melodies or complete musical math.
