Goal

I would love for all of the students in grade K thru 5 at Everglades City School to learn to play the keyboard. 

 

What will be done with my students

All of the students will be introduced to playing the piano and taught at the appropriate grade level. This program will become a part of their music education experience each year and will build on their success and achievements going forward. They will learn the basics of getting comfortable with the keyboard and eventually advance to using both hands and reading simple notation. 

 

Benefits to my students

Learning to play the piano will give the students a better musical foundation for their future musical experiences. Unfortunately, the last year for music instruction at Everglades City School is 5th grade. I feel playing the piano is especially important for these students and their intellectual development. Research has proven that playing an instrument is a healthy brain activity. Hopefully the students can use this beginning skill that they will develop in their future music experiences. 

 

Budget Narrative

The Casio keyboards are a medium quality instrument and should last for many years.
