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

My students are the most energetic, creative, fun loving human beings that I have ever met in my life. They are very creative and so full of life. Although life may not be easy for them, their energy inspires others to do better.

These keyboards will allow these students to learn the skills to play sing to their Disney favorites, will help inspire their musical life, but I also believe that it will inspire them to become better individuals.

Music can cause one for a second to mentally forget about the cards of the world and just create.

These students will learn scales, chords progression, learn how to read music and allow them to be able to play some of the latest material available and their favorite songs. Music is known to increase the learning behavior of individuals. I believe that music will help the students socially and emotionally.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
