My Students

My students are full of creative energy. They love coming to music class twice a week to sing, play instruments, and dance. Many of them perform at least once a year for our school community and families.

Our school's Orff-Schulwerk and World Music Drumming based curricula are known for their highly creative, hands-on approaches to music education.

All students are involved in speaking, singing, creating, improvising, moving, and playing instruments.

Orff-Schulwerk and World Music Drumming develop musical skills through imitation, experimentation and personal expression. My students begin with what they naturally do best: play! My student-centered classroom builds musical skills and knowledge through playing with concepts and discovering music through speech, songs, and drama. During the time they spend in my classroom, they become confident and competent musicians and composers and knowledgeable.

My Project

I have taught the World Music Drumming curriculum in my classroom for the past six years. In those six years I have seen an incredible amount of musical and personal growth in my students. They have become more focused and passionate about the music they make and create in class, and they have grown exponentially in their musical skills. My students benefit greatly from the knowledge and skills I gain each summer at this workshop. I become more comfortable and confident in teaching West African music, and that is passed on to my students.

World Music Drumming workshops renew and reenergize my passion for teaching music.

Unfortunately, it can be a costly endeavor for me. I have a family of my own to provide for, so I am looking for support so that I can attend the workshop without burdening my family.
