Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 11

Students were introduced to a variety of musical insturments.  The students were shown how to play each insturment.  We discussed how music made people feel.  We focused on happy feelings since the students are age 3 to 5.  Students enjoyed singing and using the rytham sticks, the egg shakers and the drums.  After participating the students were always happier.  Several of my students are non-verbal so this allowed them to express their feelings through music.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The goal for this grant is for developmentally delayed students to learn and experience how to play musical instruments. I want students to be able to express their feelings through musical instruments. 

 

What will be done with my students

Up to 12 students will be impacted and 1 teacher will be impacted by this grant. In future school years up to 12 students a year will be impacted. Students will learn how to handle and play instruments properly. They will learn how rhythm in music can express how a person feels. Students will watch demonstrations by the teacher and videos on how to handle and care for the instruments. The classroom teacher will be responsible for the activities and for the care of the instruments. The students will practice using the instrument at least 2 afternoons a week. This activity will take place in the classroom. 

 

Benefits to my students

The projected outcome is that students will be able to use music to express how they feel. Students will learn how to properly handle drums, rhythm sticks, egg shakers an various other musical instruments. At the end of the school students will be evaluated by showing how to use rhythm sticks properly, how to use drums properly and how to use other musical instruments. They will also be able to explain how music makes them feel when they are playing the instruments.
