Band Director teaches drums and trumpet and Coach teaches Calisthenics
Distance learning has not stopped Einstein Charter Schools from teaching their students the importance of physical education and music.  ““We believe that in order to nurture students to be academically STRONG as well as socially and emotionally resilient requires a commitment to the arts and athletics,” said Einstein Charter Schools CEO Mike McKenzie.Einstein Ban Director Melvin Wiilliams has created videos to teach 6-12th graders about music through his “Garage Bandz” series. 

In one video, he teaches rhythm and tempo through percussion and students are taught about cadence, tap accents, paradiddles, and single and double stroke rolls. In another, he teaches about range and articulation through trumpet. “Sometimes music is the only medicine that the heart and soul needs,” says Williams at the end of every video.
