My Project

It is so important that even the youngest learners have the opportunity to be exposed to music, instruments and dance for different cultures. We want to build well-rounded musical students who can learn how to play instruments from around the world and begin to see the differences and similarities from one culture to the next.

I will use these tools throughout our school as the music and movement teacher by giving students the opportunity to learn about new skills and appreciate the differences in the cultures and countries around us.
