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.

My Students

Looking to hear the sound of a good clarinet! We have a lot of students that can't afford instruments.

Our school is located in the heart of our community.

My school has the IB program and while we have brilliant kids, they don't have a lot of money. Fundraising restrictions on campus and through our district make it difficult to purchase the needed equipment for the kids.

My Project

This project will allow for my students to have an actual instrument in their hands to play during class as well as after school and at home. They will use the instrument for marching band and concert band. This past year we pushed ourselves into playing harder literature. It came to our attention fairly quickly that we had a ton of instrument issues that we did not have the money to fix. Some of the repairs are more expensive then the price of the clarinets we have asked for in this proposal.

Your contribution will help out our band program immensely.

The difference a working instrument can make is priceless. I have watched students struggle day after day. When I look at their practice records and don't hear an improvement I check their instruments. Half the time there is a problem and being young musicians they were not aware that it was the instrument.
