Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 950

Our goal was to reinforce our students’ understanding of music theory, instruments, ensembles, composers, music history and musical styles by using the engaging videos, games and quizzes provided by the Quaver curriculum. Typically we will use a video episode to emphasize what we are teaching and follow that with the quiz and some of the interactive games to further reinforce the subject. We have found that the students have a deeper understanding of the subject as a result of the Quaver material. The Quaver “Essentials Kit” that this grant purchased has a wealth of material that we have not yet fully explored. We expect to continue to find new ways to use this material to enhance the teaching of music to our students.
