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 are learning to play Orff instruments. At this time we have a good ensemble and we are still taking turns. We are hoping to have our instrument collection grow. The Bass Metallaphone is the only instrument do not have represented at this time.
We are a title 1 school with many of our students putting in extra hours at the school before and aftercare program.
Not only do I work with the kids during school but after school hours as well. We are a public charter school. We are just finishing our first year and look forward to continuing to grow.
My Project
If you could only see how their faces light up as they make music, it is truly amazing. They are using their listening skills as they listen and figure out new patterns. It is such a joy to watch them as they figure out how to play a song they know.
Orff instruments are designed to last a very long time.
Your donation will not only impact the 650 students currently enrolled but will be available for many more students to try for many years. We are thrilled to have so much support from the community.
