My Project
For the first time in Las Vegas I would like to invite you to be a part of this exciting event by helping me create a performing Las Vegas Children's Ukulele Band. This will consist of children from Bailey Elementary school ages 8 - 12. An after school program where children will learn the fundamentals of playing the ukulele and singing to their favorite songs, making new friends and being part of a club community. Also students will be able to perform in front of a live audience creating concerts and playing for different community events. This opportunity will be completely free to all children. Our school is a Title 1 school which means that we fall within the middle to low income family type. Many of our students do not have any opportunities to learn and share their talents in music. Also, a study at the University of Kansas concluded that: an analysis showed that students engaged in music programs outperformed their peers on every indicator: grade-point average, graduation rate, ACT scores, attendance and discipline referrals. So join me in giving a child a chance to explore their talents and become the best that they can be. In music and academics.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
