Melissa Salguero lives in Bridgeport but commutes each day to P.S. 48 in the Hunts Point neighborhood of the South Bronx where she teaches music. She has appeared on the Ellen Show, where in 2014 she was showered with instruments and a check to replace ones stolen from her classroom. Last year she won a Grammy as Top Music Educator of Year, thanks in part — she thinks — to a whimsical rap video posted on YouTube that exposed her unorthodox approach to education. “In the classroom I’ve made music with bananas and carrots to get the attention of students,” Salguero freely admits. A healthy dose of science and humor is usually thrown in for good measure.
