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

This project will help the students get the tools needed to help them get their instruments set up correctly.

They need the rosin to prepare their bows to play, tuners to help get the instruments in tune.

The main focus of this project is getting shoulder rests to help them learn correct posture. Teaching them from the beginning what perfect posture feels like, and looks like, will help them on their musical journey.

Since we started so many students as beginners while online, their posture has suffered, and I would like to help them learn proper posture to help with their playing.
