My Project
I’m reaching out with an urgent and heartfelt request to support my elementary music classroom at a Title I school, where every child deserves access to a high-quality arts education—regardless of zip code or income.
Due to recent federal budget cuts, our music program will receive zero funding this year for materials, instruments, or performances.
That means no new supplies, no sheet music, and no opportunities for students to share their talents—unless compassionate individuals like you step in.
My students are incredibly resilient, creative, and full of promise. Many face economic hardship and rely on school to be a place of inspiration, expression, and safety. Music class is where they shine—it builds confidence, nurtures emotional well-being, and helps them discover who they are. But without the right tools, we can’t offer the rich, hands-on experience they deserve.
Your donation will directly fund essential resources like:
-Nuvo Recorders – modern, beginner-friendly instruments that help students experience success from day one.
-Aerobic Bucket Drumming Sets – high-energy tools that teach rhythm, teamwork, and focus through movement and play.
-Cultural Diversity Music Pack – a vibrant exploration of global music traditions that promotes inclusion and respect.
These materials will ensure my students feel seen, heard, and empowered—no matter their background. You’re not just funding a project—you’re helping restore equity, opportunity, and joy through music.
Please consider supporting our classroom and giving these young learners the gift of music, creativity, and a chance to shine.
