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 using technology in creative ways. These activities foster opportunities for students to become musically literate through activities that include 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

One way that music class supports instruction is through reading non-fiction texts and articles about the music we learn. John Jacobson's Music Express Magazine is a fantastic resource for students as it contains opportunities to read and learn about popular, classical, folk and world music. In addition to a wide variety of well recorded and nicely presented music, there are articles about artists and musicians, performers and composers.

Along with the subscription, students will have access to video content, listening maps and games.

This resource is also a great way to economically augment our performance repertoire. Because the magazine is seasonal, they are able to use arrangements of the most popular music that kids love! Come along and join the Music Express!
