AP Music Theory Access

Help me give my students an amazing first year of Advanced Placement Music Theory with plenty of resources and a well-decorated room!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lewis's classroom raised $449

This project is fully funded

My Project

This will be my first year teaching Advanced Placement Music Theory, and what brings me excitement is how excited these students are to take the course. I hope that my summer training will adequately prepare me to lead these hard-working students to academic success and AP exam scores that will suffice for college credit.

Currently, we have no supplies to teach AP Music Theory in the Fall.

Students deserve an environment that they can feel comfortable in; one that supports academic enrichment while not overwhelming learners along the way. Donations of any kind would go a long way. Though I am often coming out of pocket to help students, I simply cannot afford it all.
