My Students

Whether I will be traveling the school on a cart or in my physical classroom, my students need classroom musical instruments to help them grow through their musical journey and fun and educational experience of learning music. Nearly all of our students come from low-income households and this music enrichment can open doorways for each of them. Please help me to do just that!

My Project

The materials will make a difference in my students' learning because they will be able to have an opportunity to expand their musical journey by learning music by multiple instructional structures such as rote learning, reading music notation, and music and movement.

Students will be able to get an opportunity for hands-on learning, by having musical instruments and equipment that will not have to share class to classes back to back, by where the equipment will also have more time to sit and sanitize for more than just 1-2 days, so that they are provided and benefiting from a safe, engaging music class.
