Even though many of my students come from disadvantaged neighborhoods, they have amazing stories of resilience! Help us to create a healthy, artistic space so that they can thrive and heal through the art of music and storytelling.
Within our small school community, we have the privilege of intervening in our students lives.
We have a close-knit community, and are able to greatly serve our students because of our small teacher to student ratio. Our responsiveness to our students is always contingent upon the resources that we have to offer them. Recently, after meeting with many of our student artists, we learned that they are seeking a musical space to develop their multiple intelligences, tell their stories, and create community amongst their peers through music. We have a vision to create this space so that our students can continue to thrive.
My Project
We are asking for a number of resources to develop a music studio. Many of our aspiring artists are not able to compose or record their music because they cannot access monetary resources for music production. Studio time is costly, which hinders our students from accessing them. If we are able to secure microphones, monitors, speakers and other studio needs, our students will be able to learn the art of music production, a skill that will benefit them in future endeavors.
If we are able to access these much needed resources for our young people, we will be able to teach them a few valuable lessons:
1) There is a greater community that desires to see them succeed
2) Their school community is invested in their success
3) By telling their stories, they have the power (and now resources) to change the world.
Thank you for investing in our young people's lives!
