Music is an artistic outlet open for interpretation, providing students with a blank canvas to discover all there is to know about music and how it impacts our world. I believe that my music classroom, and the lessons I conduct, should provide a creative language that can be communicated by all. Students should feel welcome, safe, and encouraged to be innovative in their own individual way and share their creations with their peers. I believe that every student, no matter what their ability may be, can become a musician and a consumer of music, breathing in all of the styles, instruments, rhythms, and song into their daily lives. I believe that my role as the teacher is to provide a learning environment open to new ideas, and promote every student to flourish in his or her own imaginative way through music.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I believe that my music classroom, and the lessons I conduct, should provide a creative language that can be communicated by all.&#8221; &#8211;Victoria Scalfaro, Lothian Elementary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001009,"featured_media":15803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"saved","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[130,132,148],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aacps_story","category-employee_stories","category-southern_stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1001009"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15802"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15895,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15802\/revisions\/15895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
