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 Students

Our music department is booming - we're at a point where all of our classes are literally overflowing with a diversity of students. Students range from complete beginners with no previous experience to students playing since a young age to those in top honors ensembles.

Regardless of experience, what makes our music students stand out is their hunger and thirst for new experiences.

Students can choose from a variety of classes including Keyboard, Guitar, Beginning Band, Beginning Strings, Advanced Band (Marching and Concert Band), Percussion Ensemble, Mariachi, Chorus, Chamber Choir, and AP Music Theory. Other extra-curricular groups include Pep Band and Jazz Ensemble.

My Project

While this project may be focused on supporting our percussion students and the beginning percussion class, it will support all of our ensembles as much of the music in all the classes require some some sort of percussion accompaniment.

The term 'trap table' is rumored to come from the shortening of 'conTRAPtion table' where a drummer to have all of their auxiliary percussion instruments placed upon.

Not only will performer have a designated trap table to use, instead of a flimsy music stand, the larger percussion table will allow to store all of our maxillary percussion instruments in an organized fashion in the classroom.
