My Students

Anyone who loves kids knows that it doesn't take much to get a little body moving and shaking. The rhythm is just part of a kid's soul and they dance at the drop of a hat. But my kiddos don't have the instruments or the supplies that they need to really get the most out of their beat!

Though many of my students come from low income households, they are innovative and creative, not letting boundaries stop them.

Music gives children an outlet to express emotion and ideas and grabs hold of their attention. Their eyes light up when they can take music making into their own hands and create something absolutely new.

I'm fortunate to work with about 1200 brilliant, elementary school students on a daily basis. We go to a large school in the Atlanta metro area. In all areas of the school day we seek to teach citizenship, community, and moral values and help our students grow into caring people.

My Project

For this project we're asking for a variety of "shaker" instruments from around the world. The seed rattles, caxixi, and shekere from Ghana give us a connection to music in other places of the world and each has a bright, distinctive sound. Caxixi are great instruments to add into any ensemble from traditional folk songs to pop music. The vibraslap creates a fascinating sound that you often hear in sound effects or movies. Castanets and cluster bells (sometimes called jingle bells) are classroom staples that can be used in any grade from Kindergarten to 5th grade.

At our school we don't have many instruments or supplies for music class.

These basic instruments will be utilized for a variety of activities and can be used in all grades, K-5, all year round! They will fill out ensembles, help with rhythm reading, assist in improvisation activities, and aid in creative movement lessons. More than that, they will excite the students and continue to teach them that music is fun and invigorating!
