Music Educator Showcase: Lauren Griffin

Описание: In Lauren Griffin's classroom, mistakes aren't interruptions. They're part of the sound.

When a ukulele is tuned too high, they adjust and try again.

When something doesn't land, she laughs with her students and keeps going. They see her be human, and it gives them permission to do the same.

And the student who struggles in one class might be the one teaching a friend a chord progression the next.

That's what modern music education can unlock. Not perfection, but possibility, and more young people seeing themselves as capable, creative, and worth hearing.

Music Will transforms lives by transforming music education. For 20 years, our network of thousands of K-12 teachers have led a national movement that brings innovative and inclusive music education to students.

Using styles including rock, pop, Latin, and Hip Hop, our program empowers teachers to build music programs as diverse as the kids they serve. Our students see themselves reflected in their classes, which strengthens their connection to their school, their peers, and their community. Music Will-trained teachers receive professional development, curricular resources, instruments and access to our national community of educators for networking and best practices.

The world of music expands through innovation. We ensure that music education does as well. To learn more about Music Will visit www.musicwill.org.
