Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I teach instrumental music to middle school age students in a large inner city K-8 school in an Abbott district. Our students take instrumental classes, play in the school Concert Band, and perform in the All City Band. They are enthusiastic and do a great job. Our school concerts have been broadcast on the local cable channel, and there have been articles about our program in local newspapers.

Due to extreme overcrowding and lack of funding, our program has been cut to zero. We have broken instruments with no budget for repairs, no classroom and conduct music lessons in the hallway, and no money at all for any type of supplies. Most critically, we need reeds for our clarinet and saxophone players.

Clarinet and saxophone reeds are basic to being able to play. Without reeds, it's impossible to make a sound on the instrument. Once we have reeds, we'll be able to distribute the instruments that are in working condition. We'll start learning to read music and play.

Your help will get our students on the road to playing in the Concert Band. These kids have so few opportunities for extra curricular activities or experiences with the arts. Music is very important part of their lives, and you can make it happen. Thank you.
