Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are all excited individuals who come to school each day, ready to learn. They look forward to music class and the new instruments we will be learning.

Especially in the younger grades, we use many rhythm/percussion instruments to explore beat, rhythm, and movement.

All of the instruments and tools requested will be used to allow my students an even more incredible experience learning about the different percussion instruments out there and the sounds they make. I always look forward to introducing new instruments to them and hope to always be able to do so through the years.
