Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School Band is re-envisioning engaged learning through collaborative efforts of music making & instrumental music performance!

Hear ye! From now on, please refer to me as an “Education Practitioner” and not “Teacher”. We do not teach but educate. Since students have different learning styles, we practice our content. There are medical practitioners, law practitioners; why not education practitioners?

I have a dream that I was teaching A$AP Rocky’s children and explained to him what they were going to do in the upcoming music showcase.
