My Students

Let's tickle the ivories. Students need more hands on projects. Let's put our hands on a project that will give us a satisfying feeling of creating sounds that are beautiful to our ears. Beautiful music surrounds us everyday. Let's create the sounds that we can play from reading notes.

My students are in the age range of 5 years of age to age 13 years of age.

The school has the grade levels of Kindergarten to Eighth grade. The students are very talented and live in Maryland with a limited school budget. The students have been able to take music appreciation and music as an elective for choir and band. They are very high achievers and need to have more tools to work within the classroom.

My Project

The students need to play their given songs on a keyboard and hopefully be able to record their songs for future playback and more creativity. The students have had music every year and need to apply what they learned by playing a musical instrument.

It is important to be able to read music but reading music is not simply enough.

Once one learns to read music one would then need to apply what they learned to an instrument for practice and performance and hopefully perfection.
