My Students

Our student (about 700 students attend the school) population consists of both general and special ed. students with a variety of challenges (such as emotional disturbance, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and speech impairments). My students respond well to diverse learning strategies. The school is located in a low-income area and most of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

In spite of limited resources, our music program affords every student in the population the opportunity to participate in musical activities: general music and performing ensembles.

Many of our students are challenged with the ability to interact with others in a positive way, and music helps to improve their capacity to relate to peers and other people.

My Project

The desire for children to create should be nurtured through music. Link Up: The Orchestra Moves program, along with the music teacher, guides students through a yearlong exploration of orchestral repertoire and music making. The music teachers will participate in professional development workshops. Students will study and gain an understanding of how music moves through varied elements of music. Repertoire includes works by Beethoven, Márquez, Bizet, and a new commission by Angélica Negrón!

At the end of the year, students will sing and play the recorder with a professional orchestra in a concert in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage.

Playing music along with other students gives them an opportunity to learn cooperatively, enhance their critical thinking skills, and build school community. Creativity through making music is further enhanced when instruments are at the child's disposal. Playing music together encourages a sense of unity among the students.
