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

My students are talented musicians with whom I have the pleasure of making music every single day. No two of them are alike and they form a strong family within the instrumental music program at our school. They all have the passion to play music and bring with them a variety of skills and talents from their unique personal situations. They all come from different home situations, education levels, cultural backgrounds, and self-identities.

With their strong passion and talent, there are still many students who do not have the ability to own their own instrument or to obtaining private lessons, so we work to providing the highest quality materials, education and opportunities here at our school each and every day.

They are hard-working and resourceful and worth all the love and support I can give them to develop into better musicians and people.

My Project

This new guitar amp would provide a stable and quality amp for performance and rehearsal use in the Jazz Ensemble as well as for our other performing groups when necessary. Our current amp has been out of commission needing electoral repairs and is currently needing repairs after already being taken in for other issues the previous year. We need a great replacement to meet the needs of our many guitarist students who will use in the Jazz Ensemble as well as our very popular and underfunded Guitar class. This amp will become immediately used by our students and will create a sense of pride in the group to have new equipment to use.
