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
What is the coolest instrument that all children want to learn to play? The drums of course. My students are anxious to begin drumming, but need your help to make this a reality.
Presently, I teach elementary/middle school music (4-8) at a high needs public school in Illinois where most of our students are either on free or reduced-price lunch.
Due to budget cuts, the school is unable to fund a music program for the school. Studies have shown that playing musical instruments has been linked to greater student achievement in school. Music, being an interdisciplinary subject, encompasses all subjects students encounter during their education.
The students at this school are very enthusiastic about music and should have a top notch music program. This can only be possible with your help!
My Project
Having a drum set at the school will allow the my students a chance to explore music, experience the fulfillment of learning and completing a new task, and greatly inspire them to progress to other instruments.
The students will learn how to work together in an ensemble which encourages team work. They will also receive the satisfaction of learning how to play a musical instrument. Music is very entertaining and allows for freedom of expression. My students deserve the opportunity to express themselves through music, and playing the drums will provide that foundation.
Music is the universal language and provides an experience that will allow the students to appreciate the creative process and develop a commitment to excellence.
Your donations will help the students to experience music on a greater level through their performance.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
