My Students

The most joyous part of my day is the time that I get to spend singing and playing song experience games with my students. I teach in a school that serves a community that is both strongly connected and beautifully diverse. My students are excited to learn and especially enjoy music class. When attending music, students spend their time singing, playing games, playing instruments, listening to and moving to music and finding creative ways to capture their learning. Each activity provides students with experiences that lead to musical literacy including reading, writing and creating music.

Having the right materials at the right time enables students to spend every moment actively engaged in music making.

Students attend music once a week, which makes every minute of music class precious. Join us as we work to make excellent use of every opportunity to help students develop a life-long love of music.

My Project

Musical experiences are always most meaningful when they are captured in some way. Whether students use technology to record their performances or pencil and paper to write or draw about the experience enables students to make tangible something that would otherwise be temporal.

Students will use these materials to store and organize their work in a sort of music portfolio.

Each week, as students create a musical artifact, learn a new skill or are introduced to a new song, they can add a new entry into their folder. When it is time to grade the students, I will have a handy record of what students have accomplished within a grading period. These folders will go home with students at the end of the year and serve as a record of the work they have done.
