Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

"We believe that all students, regardless of ethnicity or socioeconomic status, deserve equitable access to the highest quality arts education taught by best-in-field certified arts teachers."

–OCPS Visual & Performing Arts Educators

We are a Title I school, so most of our students do come from low-income households. As a music teacher, I work with all students, kindergarten through fifth grade, which is great being that I get the chance to teach every class at our school.

Some of our students do not have the best home lives or the same luxuries that so many others do have. Our students show so much potential each day and are every bit deserving of these same opportunities that so many other young students have. Though many of our students are not in the position to afford music lessons, they show great interest in learning to read music and play instruments. Our students are very artistic, bright, and talented, and would thrive with more equipment and resources at hand.

My Project

Our school's Guitar Club began this year through both online instruction and face-to-face instruction. The issue we have run into is that we have many students that would like to join but many do not have an instrument nor can they acquire one. So far, the club has only been open to students that have their own guitar to use.

I would like to provide my students with guitars to use on campus so that they can still learn and participate in the guitar club despite their situations at home.

A classroom set of guitars will give us the momentum we need to take this ensemble to the next level and provide many students with an opportunity they otherwise may not have.
