My Project

Last year, our district reinstated the Music in our Lives offering for students in grades 9-12. Our curriculum centered around piano/guitar instruction, recording and studio techniques, basic music theory, and music history. Seeing as how we have 80 minute blocks, I wanted to make the class as interactive as possible but had limited means in a teaching space that was less than ideal for this class. On a whim, I introduced musical cup playing (think the "Cups Song" from the first Pitch Perfect movie). I was uncertain as to how high schoolers would react to this activity but was committed to getting them moving and making music, even at the most basic level. They ended up being extremely receptive to this activity and during the last marking period, we incorporated simple rhythmic exercises as a daily bell ringer! Students said these daily play-alongs helped them mentally decompress from the stressors of the school day and connect with their classmates in a safe, fun, and judgement-free environment.

This year, I'd love to expand upon this concept by incorporating World Drumming.

By having these percussion instruments on hand, I can offer more rhythmic playing experiences. I can also introduce improvisation into the curriculum and expand upon lessons pertaining to music as a storytelling and communication tool!
