My Project

Next year, I will be teaching a brand new elective course called "Music as Literature!" in which students analyze music & song lyrics. As an optional project at the end of each quarter, I will be encouraging students to write their own songs.

Students in this course will study music genres, lyrics, artists, and poetic form to be able to analyze music and even create their own - these items will help them learn about music and add scores to their songs!

Please help give my students these books and instruments so that they can enhance their talents and self expression through music as well as their literary analysis skills.
