would give a visual, kinesthetic, and auditory cue to help the children learn the
music. I strive for each of my students to become well rounded individuals by
playing to their strengths while further developing their weaknesses. I intend to do
this by always using multiple modalities to teach in a way that is as productive as
possible without losing the aspect of fun. I truly believe students will always learn
better and be more engaged when there is an element of enjoyment. On top of an
element of fun, I want to challenge my students by teaching within Vygotskys zone
of proximal development. I strongly believe in scaffolding information to introduce
new concepts by modeling and encouraging my students until they are comfortable
with the information on their own.
In this day and age, we know that working together as a community is an
important factor in life both in and outside of the classroom. Music is an outstanding
source to incorporate inclusion of all children. By working as an ensemble, children
learn to rely on one another while taking responsibility for their part in making the
group successful. They must learn how to build relationships in order to create
something great. The wonderful thing about music is that every child can and will
excel in some form or another. Because all students are gifted in different ways,
music allows us to explore multiple avenues of creativity and communication to
create an interconnected ensemble. I truly believe that music is a necessary
component in every students life. It can be a wonderful teaching tool for academic
material as well as a creative outlet. It helps brain development and focus as well as
creating an inclusive environment for all students to be successful. I am so thrilled
to someday be part of a music classroom where I can share my passion while
helping students strive for their personal best.
