My educational philosophy is centered around how music can be interwoven into every discipline. Music has been around throughout every time period in human history, and can be found in every culture on the planet. Music connects people in deep and exciting ways. Here are some samples of connections music has made for students I work with!
This lesson plan is designed to show students the connections between communicating with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and music. Scientists use different rhythmic chirps of differing pitches to communicate with the tools that help them explore the ocean floor.
This lesson plan draws comparisons between music and the constellations in the night sky.
This lesson plan has students create music to decorate boats that will be used to help scientists study ocean currents through the Float Your Boat organization.
