Javel Perriel
Javel Perriel is a music educator who stands for change in the classroom by consistently encouraging students to explore and appreciate various cultures through music. Being an immigrant from the beautiful island of Jamaica who migrated to the United States in 2008, he saw how music connects us all no matter our differences. After completing his Bachelor’s degree from Florida International University, he started his teaching career in South Florida in 2017. He has allowed students to be creative, share their passion, and explore the marvelous world of music in the 21st century.
After discovering the Makey Makey circuit board through a colleague and integrating it into his classroom, he decided to create this book. Seeing the joy and excitement on the students’ faces, he felt compelled to share it with others. Becoming an author has been a dream for Mr. Perriel, and with this milestone, he dreams boldly for the future.
