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 Project

Our school serves a large urban area and has a high percentage of students from low-income homes. Our student body is culturally diverse and provides our school community an opportunity to experience languages and customs from many cultures as we interact every day.

Many of my students do not have the opportunity to explore and experience high-quality music instruction outside of the school setting.

It is exciting to see them grow in their knowledge and excitement of music. Many of our students will continue their participation in the music program for three or four years during high school.

Our classroom is full of electronic instruments like ukuleles, guitars, keyboards, speakers, and computers. These items need a variety of adapters like 1/4 inch, 1/8 inch adaptors, RCA, and XLR cables so my students can plug in headphones, microphones, and audio cables for rehearsal and silent learning during class. Having a variety of adapters on hand is a necessity due to the variety of headphones and audio connections that are widely available.
