Help me give my students the instruments that they need to complete our music group.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Contreras's classroom raised $1,084

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

My students would love it if you could help us complete our instrument set for our class. We are currently preparing for our Spring Concert in May and adding bongos, congas, maracas, etc will make our sound much more interesting and balanced. Our goal as a class is to combine these percussion instruments with the instruments that we already have in class so that every student has an instrument that they like to play. In addition, students will learn how a music group can sound when you combine all of these instruments together to interpret some of their favorite songs or something new.
