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.

Vinyl records are an important part of a high school music program. I teach students that are learning English and are new to this great country. They study English through music history and performance. All my students are high-need.

Over the years I have collected many classical vinyl records for my school. I find them in front of buildings, friends get rid of them, and I buy them at used record shops. My students love studying about the great composers and their lives. We look at historical developments that influenced their compositions and we look at the stories behind the compositions themselves. Past projects have included historical puppet shows and class field trips to hear orchestras. My students really enjoy great classical music. I would like to further their excitement by having a listening center where they can listen to these great recordings.

Because so much of our sound recordings are on vinyl the school needs two record players for the students so they can listen to these great albums and study the music. I believe this experience of listening and thinking critically to music will help my students get into college as it is a great motivator for written activities. My students love writing about music and we use this to teach them about college essay writing and passing the regents. I firmly believe that our music program helps kids get into college and that these record players will help them get there. Furthermore, the added value of record players is that they will get experience that can help them if they want to work in the music world. DJs, radio hosts, and teachers need to know how to work turntables.

By providing two turntables to my high school music program, you will give the gift of music scholarship to my students. They will gain valuable skills that will help them in college and in the music profession. They will have access to hundreds of recordings in our library that at the moment can not be played. They will use these recordings for research and writing.
