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 Students

My students are used to receiving the bare minimum. By giving them instruments to explore and learn on, we will tell them that they are deserving of the highest quality of material and education. We can show them that we believe in their success and we believe in them.

Remember wanting to learn an instrument in school, put you didn't have the materials, the room was too loud, or you just weren't given the chance?

Many talented students in my class are unable to learn the things they strive to learn because we simply do not have the materials! Many people believe that the students in my district will not amount to much. We are in an impoverished, Title 1, urban district where many of the students grow up too quickly. These middle school students often feel like they are falling between the cracks. However, in music class they find their voice and their place among their community. In music, they are allowed to be who they are and create work that embodies everything they love and believe in. However, they need materials and instruments to work with!

My Project

With the pianos, headphones and folders requested, my students will be able to create music individually as well as in a group. This will allow them to grow and develop into efficient and independent musicians. They will be able to explore the limitless world of music for themselves and with their classmates.

By adding pianos, my students will learn how to be a better musician, how to take care of instruments, and how to work with others to produce beautiful compositions.

My student' would benefit greatly from allowing individual practice and self-paced learning.
