STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
SAVANNAH BROWN
School: Myrtle Grove K-8
Grade: 6
Instrument: Guitar
I’ve been wanting to learn the guitar for
a while. Now that I’m a part of YMU, I’m
more excited to go to school on the days
I have music class. YMU not only gave
me a new hobby, it brought me closer
to my friends that joined the band class
and introduced me to teachers that are
patient and want to help us improve.
I even have the confidence to stand
up on stage in front of people now –
something I wouldn’t have been able to
do last year.

ESTELLE MORALES
School: Miami Beach Senior High School
Grade: 11
Instrument: Voice
Since I joined the Miami Beach
Rock Ensemble, I’ve developed a
greater sense of self and a better
understanding of my craft. I walk
around more confident because I‘ve
identified what it is that I love to do
and how I want to carry myself. It‘s
really nice to go somewhere where
everyone understands the art. With
the mentors and other band members,
it’s not about trying to nitpick, it‘s just
about helping and building. All of us
as a collective want to perform well so
if you want to step out of your comfort
zone, no one is going to judge you.

Getting to go to band class and
playing songs has changed my
school days by giving me a safe
space to express myself with music.
I always wanted to learn to play an
instrument, but when I started out on
the saxophone, I would get frustrated
when I messed up or didn’t know
how to play something. However,
my teachers and my classmates
encouraged me to keep practicing
and take time with my music.
SOPHIA SOTOMAYOR
School: Citrus Grove Middle School
Grade: 7

Music really inspires me. When
I start playing, it‘s like another
universe. Although I only started
playing guitar this year, I’ve already
learned multiple songs and even
recorded covers on Bandlab.

JAYDEN SEYMOUR
School: Young Men’s Preparatory Academy
Grade: 7
Instrument: Drums
The drums are a source of happiness
to me and part of my everyday life.
As an instrument, the drums give me
something to take care of. Through
learning to play them, they’ve taught
me a lot about musical expression and
how it can move someone, whether on
stage or in the audience.
ALEX CRUZ
School: Lake Stevens Middle School
Grade: 6
14 Instrument: Music Production
I started learning how to make beats
on my own about a year ago and
joined the YMU music production
class when I went to middle school.
My family has a history of playing
different instruments – my parents
rap and beatbox, my brother plays
the guitar and my uncle plays the
drums – but I was never really into
music until I started experimenting
in my production class. I began to
understand the roles that different
genres have in our lives.

RASHAWANA PEARSALL
School: Brownsville Middle School
Grade: 7
Instrument: Guitar
I started playing music this year in
my Modern Band class, and it’s been
a really cool experience. It’s changed
the way I listen to music. I am learning
guitar, but since we get to try out a lot
of different instruments, now I can
identify them in the songs I listen to.
JUSTIN MORALES
School: Booker T. Washington Senior High School
Grade: 12
16 Instrument: Guitar
For me, playing an instrument is a way
to show my passion. Since I started
learning guitar with YMU, I feel like I
am able to be more myself on stage
and show more of my personality.
This helped me when I was made a
leader in my guitar class which meant
connecting and empathizing with the
other band members and inspiring
them to believe in themselves.

AUTISM PROGRAM
YMU recently started supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities through our Autism Program at South Dade Middle School
in Homestead.
Through instructor-led ‘‘Fun Friday’’ activities, students learn how to express themselves on their instrument of choice while
also having the opportunity to make music with others. The goal of the Autism Program is to expose students to professionally-
performed music in an environment that celebrates individual differences. We’re excited to see how the program progesses for our
students and faculty at South Dade Middle!
These are a few of our favorite photos that were taken at our Winter Music Showcase.
25
Young Musicians Unite has been a beacon of light for our students with autism at
South Dade Middle. Since the time this organization began teaching our students
how to use musical instruments and coming to make their Fridays joyful, we have
seen a significant drop in negative behaviors. Our students look forward to their
live music sessions which include playing an instrument, making different rhythms
or beats, and dancing along with the music.
This program has impacted our entire unit. Even our students who are sensitive to
sounds have adjusted to listening to soothing sounds and playing with
instruments. Music is impactful for students with autism and Young Musicians
Unite helps them build upon their social skills which in turn has improved their
behavior.
