My students deserve the same opportunities we had, even though they're coming to school with little. For many of them, school is the highlight of their day, and music is one of the highlights of their week. While I can't change everything about their home lives, I can do everything in my control to make sure that the minutes I have with them each week matter. I want each of my students to know how much he or she is valued within our classroom and school community, and music provides a wonderful outlet for just that. In my classroom, students have the opportunity to be creative and expressive in new ways.
