My Project

At Goodwin Elementary School, located in East Hartford, Ct., we believe in the power of music to inspire, educate, and uplift our students. Our music program is dedicated to providing comprehensive music education that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. We are reaching out to you to help us enhance our program by acquiring this tubanos for our music class.

Here’s why your support is crucial:

Expanded Learning Opportunities: World Drumming allows our students to explore a wider range of musical concepts, including melody, harmony, and dynamics. Playing the Tubano helps students develop essential musical skills, such as hand-eye coordination, rhythm awareness, and listening skills.

These drums give a wonderful opportunity to our "special needs" students because they are accessible to students of all abilities, making our music program more inclusive. Whether a student is a beginner or an experienced musician, the Tubanos offer a welcoming environment for musical expression and learning.

Music has the power to bring people together. By providing our students with high-quality instruments, we are fostering a sense of community within our music class. Students learn to collaborate, support each other, and celebrate their musical achievements together.

Your support will directly impact the quality of music education we can provide to our students. By donating to our project, you are investing in the future of our young musicians and helping us create a vibrant, enriching learning environment.

Thank you for considering our project and for your commitment to music education. Together, we can empower our students to reach their full potential through the power of music.
