What will be done with my students

A classroom, set up with Tubano drums, will automatically create excitement for the music lesson of the day! Drumming promotes student engagement while meeting multiple music standards. Music is a universal language. Drumming in the music classroom, contributes to the reduction of language barriers. Increased quantity of drums will increase student engagement. Music will be created and performed as individuals, small ensembles, and large ensembles. Drumming also promotes the real life skill of teamwork.
 

Benefits to my students

1. All students, Kindergarten to 5th grade, will be able to participate in music drumming lessons.
2. Provides a non-competitive, team building experience for all students. Poinciana has several classes with modified curriculum. Related arts is designated as the inclusion time with general education students for the MC classes. Drumming promotes musical activities that are beneficial for all students.
3. Learn musical concepts in a fun and engaging environment.
4. Reading rhythms performed on drums in the music classroom connects and reinforces reading and math concepts.
5. Students who excel at drumming, gain confidence that can be carried over into other aspects of the students' day.
6.The act of drumming is physical and can help students process the stresses of the day.
7. Builds school community
