My Students

Our school is an urban middle school in Las Vegas, NV. The school's focus is STEM. However, we have a very large performing arts department. In the past four years the orchestra program has grown immensely in numbers and talent. The student really put their heart and soul into creating and telling stories through playing music.

My Project

The problem is that we do not have enough music stands, bass stools and a school harp. We are in need of the following: Music stands, bass stools & a harp. I would like to keep every student engaged, but they need the correct tools to make that happen.

If we can supply the students with the ability to create their music, then we will fulfill enhance the educational journey.

The following music content standards are being addressed. MU:Pr4.7.6 Perform contrasting pieces of music demonstrating their interpretations of the elements. MU:Pr6.7.1 Perform the music with technical accuracy and stylistic expression to convey the creator’s intent. MU:Pr4.8.6 Perform contrasting pieces of music, demonstrating as well as explaining how the music's intent is conveyed by their interpretations of the elements of music and expressive qualities (such as dynamics, tempo, timbre, articulation or style, and phrasing).

The students in orchestra are some of the highest achieving students on campus. I believe in the importance of providing opportunities for the students at our school, and your generous support will change the lives of many kids. Please help to save the music at our school.

Thank you for your support!
