Celebrating 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 range from 6th - 8th grade. They are ethnically diverse and come from all different parts of San Diego to attend the public arts academy I teach at. My students play a wide range of instruments including: violin, viola, cello and bass (string family). Flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, alto sax, tenor sax and baritone sax (woodwind family). Trumpet, french horn, baritone and tuba (brass family). Also snare drum, bass drum, mallets and auxiliary percussion (percussion family). At my school, students not only learn about performing, but there is a strong character component and emphasis on the importance of getting good grades which helps mold each student to be exceptional.
My Project
We are requesting a trombone case, cello, violin and viola strings, woodwind reeds, batteries for tuners, flute swabs, slide oil and brass lubricant. The trombone case is needed to replace a case that literally has a giant hole in it! A student complained of a spider sneaking into her instrument.
The strings and reeds help students achieve a much more professional sound by improving the tone quality of their instrument.
The slide oil and lubricant helps brass instruments stay in proper working condition so that students could easily move their tuning slides for better intonation.
The flute swabs are important to clean the water out of students' instruments so that the pads do not become corroded and thus ensue expensive, unnecessary repair costs.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
