My Project

I'm the music teacher at a Title I school that is nestled in the lowest socioeconomic area in Pompano Beach, Florida. I would like my students to have the same exposure and opportunities as other non Title I schools. As of now I have violins but the strings must be repaired. My students are well deserving of opportunities that will broaden their horizons. It would be spectacular to have a violin club at my school that will display their talents. This would boost the student morale and appreciation for music. My main goal is to have students perform the violin at our concerts and throughout the community.
