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

As our music program grows and our students learn, their lack of proper equipment is becoming a detriment to their learning. Our students, almost all of whom receive free and reduced lunches and come from low-income households, love playing music and are looking forward to another year!

We started two years ago with an empty classroom and are slowly adding in the instruments our students need and deserve to expand their knowledge and love of music.

Students in all levels, from ECE to 5th grade, find joy and excitement through playing instruments, singing songs, dancing, and exploring music. Many of our students are enamored when they get to do anything as simple as touch the keys of a piano. Music has been proven to improve test scores and strengthen the learning of our students and it is something that has been taken away from many of the students in underfunded schools throughout Denver. With your help we can create a program designed around our students' needs with the variety of instruments they deserve.

My Project

As our students get better and better at their instruments, song-writing, and singing they are preparing to perform. We currently only have the ability to mic one instrument or vocalist at a time.

Let every musician be heard as they show off their talent and hard work.

With a mixing board we can mic and mix the sound of multiple musicians at the same time, allowing them to perform on stage and be heard.

Beyond that, song writing is an important and powerful tool of self expression. As students write their own songs they would like to record their music in order to share it with their families and friends and make a permanent version of their creations. This mixing board will help students record their writing and learn about the balance and skill of mixing.
