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.
The Middle School Classical Guitar program that I direct is a program full of discovery, expression, musicianship, and camaraderie. It's a community, school, and cultural tradition that the students take pride in.
We are a title one school, with a high percentage of Hispanic students, mostly of Mexican heritage, and our performers take pride in communicating their emotions to others through beautiful music making.
One thing that I appreciate and respect the most is how students in my classroom find their voices through the camaraderie and support of the other students in the program.
My Project
Maintaining a productive musical space is a challenge for every music director. There are countless supplies that need replenishing and instruments that need to be repaired and or replaces constantly. This project is attended to address a variety of needs in my classroom, including but not limited to; technology upgrades, a smaller sized guitar for a student with smaller hands, a monitor speakers for our Mariachi singers, new music books for Mariachi, and general classroom supplies.
My students are already excited about the implications that these new materials will have, and just the thought of them has created a really nice novel energy in my classes.
