Overview:
Begin your lesson with the magic of music and culture! In Miguel’s Music, children discover how music connects to family, tradition, and self-expression through Miguel’s inspiring story. Students explore instruments, rhythms, and movements while learning that music can tell stories and express emotions. Through creative activities—like making their own guitars and drawing family traditions—students celebrate both creativity and culture. By the end of the lesson, they’ll understand that music is more than sound—it’s a way to share who we are and what we love.
