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.

My Students

Welcome to my band room! Students in 5th-12th grade have a great time learning to play instruments and working together as ensembles. Most of their parents cannot afford to buy or even rent a band instrument, so our program depends on school-owned instruments.

Playing a band instrument opens doors for my students in our rural, high-poverty area.

They get to go on trips, participate in competitions, and show their pride from performing and marching in parades. I want all the kids in our school to have the opportunity to play an instrument, such as the student model trumpet I am asking for.

My Project

This trumpet is a student-model trumpet that is perfect for the beginner or intermediate student. The trumpet will allow a student to learn and use in parades, competitions, and everyday practice. Playing a trumpet will allow the student to earn scholarship money for college, and the student will be more likely to get into college. I teach the kids how to take care of their instruments and how to prevent damage, and I help them understand that pride comes after hard work and teamwork. I love to see the expressions on their faces after they have mastered their first few notes, or earned a high score at a solo competition. The more instruments our school owns and loans to our students, the more students can participate in amazing musical experiences.

You can help make this happen!

Imagine a student holding a shiny trumpet on stage at a concert, their parents snapping photos. They feel a tremendous amount of pride inside, because of your gift. In turn, this pride is reflected throughout our school and community.
