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

World Music Drumming has been an incredible curriculum for my students. In the six years I've been teaching drumming, I have seen student focus improve greatly. Our music room community has become stronger because my students have learned they have to rely on everyone to make the music great.

I do my best to save money to attend World Music Drumming workshops to be the best teacher I can be.

I have my own family and bills to pay, so it is difficult to save enough to attend the workshop. I would love some support to provide for my meal plan at the workshop so I don't have to worry about the financial burden.
