My Students

We are a high poverty New York City public school in Astoria, Queens. Our school has a very diverse population. We have students that come from different parts of the world. We have a lot of English Language Learners, Special Education and Gifted and Talented students as well as general education students.

We love our school and we love our students.

Our students are excited to learn! We have a great community and supportive parents. As a music teacher I want to give our students opportunities to learn and play!

My Project

Students will have more manipulatives to use in music. Everybody learns a different way and having markers, paper and a protected iPad will help me differentiate for my students. We will be able to have more practice drawing notes and composing.

Having visuals will benefit all students, and especially our ENL ad Special Ed students.

Using the step bells to demonstrate and visualize the steps and skips in music will be beneficial to all students.

Students will get more practice writing the notes and will greatly benefit from activities that include the laminated sheets.

And extra instruments will help up be even more creative in our ensembles.
