My Students

As you would expect from an urban school, the students at my school are a wonderfully diverse group of individuals. Some of them have hard exteriors because of their home environments, but are really wonderful kids once you make a connection with them. These students are the kind of students whom will greatly benefit from all the care that the education system has to offer. They are very grateful when they recognize that the efforts being put forward by the school and its staff have benefited them not just as a student, but as a member of society.

Many of my students love being in school because it provides them with the structured environment that they may not have at home.

Of course they would never say that out loud, but it is evident in the meaningful connections they make with teachers and others in the school environment.

My Project

I have inherited a large (and growing) choir of 120 6th grade students, and another choir of 7th and 8th grade students that is about another 100 students. The choral library I inherited, however, does not provide me with the materials I need to accurately challenge my students and help them grow as singers. I want to be able to provide all my students with modern materials so that they are getting the most out of their music education! I have chosen two popular choral songs; one for my 6th grade choir, and one for my 7th and 8th grade combined choir. The song I chose for my 6th graders is a song that we can use for performance, but also helps to develop sight reading skills. Sight reading skills are an important facet of any successful choir program, and I would love to be able to get my 6th grade students to reach their full potential through use of this song. The second piece will help me to develop other necessary skills in my upperclassmen choirs. Finally, the choir builder books by Rollo Dilworth are widely accepted as an effective method of developing basic vocal technique in beginning or young singers.

My students deserve to have the same quality of resources provided to them that wealthy schools are able to purchase on their own.

This is why I am asking for the help in purchasing these songs and choir builder books.
