Educational Philosophy: I believe that music is one of the greatest methods of communication and understanding in the world. Music allows for an understanding and connection across even the toughest barriers between people and communities. Students who learn and appreciate music are able to access this communication and understanding for the rest of their lives. Elementary students learn the basic music fundamentals- melody, rhythm, and other basic building blocks to create and understand music. Older students begin to delve into a wider range of musical experiences in international musical connections, historical contexts and causes, and different way to create and explore different musical aspects.
