Music encompasses many things. It involves instruments, voices, or both. It is rhythm, offbeats, notes, full of dynamics, choruses, hooks, refrains, or none of the above. It is one of my favorite ways to express myself. It is very important to be incorporated into any classroom of any ages. It is very influential and has been a big part of my life. I was introduced to music since the beginning of my life. My dad plays the guitar and both parents sing. I grew up on the oldies and soon came to love other genres of music. I was introduced to the flute and began lessons in fourth grade. It taught me discipline, practice, and a passion for the arts.
MY goals for using music with my future students is to allow each of them to have a fair opportunity to take advantage of music. I like hip hop, rap, alternative, classical, oldies but goodies, r&b, rock and many others. I want to introduce them to all kinds of music. I want my students to if at all possible, learn to play an instrument. There are so many benefits! Music helped me in school. I learned good discipline and study habits. I learned about rhythm, dynamics, D.S. al Coda's, harmony, melody, notes, tone, and so much more. I became a part of my music when I played. I soon got into singing and that is one of my favorite things to do. I sing when I'm sad, happy, excited, angry, pretending to be famous when I'm in the shower, and performing in front of people. It is a great way to release stress and weighing emotions. I want that to be an outlet for my students as well.
To integrate it properly into curriculum I want to continue to know the popular music but keep my roots in the other good stuff I know. I will help them develop a passion for music by making it an everyday occurrence. I will introduce them to instruments and share my personal experiences with them. They will love music because they will understand and become part of it.
