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
Many of my students love music and have great enthusiasm for the guitar, but most of them do not have a guitar at home. I want to be able to teach them and spread the beauty of music. I am participating in this project in order to purchase more guitars and supplies for my 6th grade students.
My Project
These materials will be used for a student body that is mainly compromised of low-income Latino/Hispanic students who are not able to purchase or acquire a guitar. Many of my students are deeply interested in music and constantly ask me if they can borrow one the of the school's guitars in order to practice, but we do not have enough supplies to accommodate all. Music helps students develop a range of important social-emotional skills that will prove useful not only during performances but also throughout their lives. Managing nerves before a performance, collaborating and interacting with other students in an ensemble, and practicing an instrument constantly are some activities that can have a long-lasting positive impact on the students' personalities and emotional well-being.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
