Delton
Delton Davis, educator, musician author, founder and director of Kids Drumming. My mission is to teach children about the rhythmic world around us through music, movement, and language. I believe that the world’s wide array of music is a fun and effective way to communicate across geographical and cultural lines. The instrument can be used as a means to communicate thoughts, feelings, emotions and a story. Everyone has a story and their story matters.
I strongly believe that everyone has value, meaning and purpose. My goal is to create an engaging environment where participants have the freedom to express themselves while learning more about the world. Over the years I created educational resources that focuses on culture. From activity books, to children’s songs, all the way to a series that introduces kids to various countries and the music in those countries.
Fostering healthy relationships is important in the growth and development of students’ journeys in education and life. One teacher can make a world of a difference in a student’s life which can change the trajectory of their physical and emotional value. On average, students spend more time at school than at home. Therefore, it’s crucial that every student has at least one person in their life as an educator that’s an advocate and ally. Students need to know they’re supported by knowing they have a voice and their voice matters.
Fostering a sense of meaning and purpose in each student’s life in the classroom can instill a reason to learn, grow and simply be valued. I’m proud to be a teacher because everyday in and outside of the classroom I have the opportunity to be a hero in someone’s life. I can offer a safe space where students can be free to use their instruments as a means to express themselves.
From traveling the world, being on TV shows, I bring all my experiences into the classroom and meet the students wherever they are, to let them know their life matters and encourage them to what’s possible. The wealth in my life are the results of the positive impact I’m able to have on students.
