My Students

As a music cluster teacher, I have the opportunity to bring music, instruments and dance into their classrooms. As young students, they learn best by touching and exploring the things around them. As many students do not have the opportunity to have instruments at home, I would like to get some they can access in school.

My Project

These materials will inspire students' joy of learning musical instruments. With this keyboard, I can teach students about notes, pitch, volume, colors and letters. These instruments will be able to be used in multiple classrooms as they are easy to transport. Each student will also be able to use it efficiently as they are small sizes and will fit on their tables. This will also make it easy to clean so that each student is safe while they have fun learning and exploring the piano! Thank you for helping my students enjoy and express themselves through music!
