• Itinerant Music Teacher

  • Jan 2023 - Present

  I am an Elementary Music Teacher fulfilling the needs of Kent School district from general music to instrumental to extracurricular music during and after school including choir, steel drums, and more. My current placement has me working with a diverse group of kids, nearly 50% of which are Multi-Language Learners, with the school even implementing a dual-language program teaching certain students both English and Spanish Language arts in a K-6 setting. My class focuses on musical literacy, along with social-emotional skills. We use a variety of instruments and tools to provide students with the skills to create, perform, and analyze music aurally and visually. Students also get the opportunity to broaden their understanding of the world around and beyond their immediate circle to find a deeper understanding of cultures around the world, through experimenting with, discussing, and performing music from a vast array of cultures. With an emphasis on practical application and life skills, students apply the same skills to a variety of settings to allow them take more ownership over their learning in the future, and have a deeper understanding of what is required to further their development beyond the classroom should they choose to do so.
