Mr. Tavarez’s visit to Spanish 5C


By Breitling Lewis, Christian Turcios, and Ryell Walker

We enjoyed Mr. Tavarez’s presentation.  He taught us about the culture of the Dominican Republic.  

Tavarez demonstrated how to play musical instruments that he brought to our class.  It was beautiful the way he described how the instruments were made.  He gave us a different mindset that we can use things around us to create amazing instruments. 


Mr. Tavarez showed us what real music was by having us contribute during the presentation.  We created rhythms and sounds with the help of la guira, el bongo, y la tambora.  He allowed us to be creative and make our own sounds.  We had a fun time with this new experience by having a parent come in and share their cultural background.

It was really cool how our friend Sarah, whom we’ve known for a long time, could bring her parent to class to demonstrate and share his knowledge with us.
