Consbruck’s innovative teaching idea, “Sound Practice,” focuses on providing students with certain instruments and opportunities that they are currently unable to receive, including the addition of Ukulele and “World Drumming” classes at Giltner Public School. Over the course of the curriculum, students involved in the project will engage in unique teamwork experiences, while developing self-esteem and respect for one another. They will learn to master the fundamentals of rhythm, melody, harmony, music vocabulary and literacy and music history. Students will be encouraged to use their instruments in the general classroom in order to bring energy and excitement to the class while reinforcing positive outlets and interactions.
