Band/Strings: A Great Investment

Help me give my students the tools needed to succeed. Some of my instrument cases are unusable so the new violin cases are so helpful.

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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Each item I have listed will ensure great instrumental music education. Students are more inclined to take their instruments home and practice if the instrument is in great playing condition. My students will use their reeds to make beautiful sounds on clarinet and saxophone while those on violin will carry the class with new strings and cases.

My goal is to ensure my students have the best experience in my program.

These items I have requested, will be an asset to aid my students in playing music, reading music and loving what we do.

I believe my students are so special because they have found an early love for band and music. Scholars that love what they do take it more seriously and respect the music, the teacher and the instrument. We know scholars flourish in other classes because of instrumental music and having these tools at the ready helps them stay ready and prepared for the next level.
