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 Project

We have a modern Band class that really needs Electric Guitars and basses.

This Guitars and basses will make possible for my students to learn the material and play our concerts in those amazing Instruments.

We have being using acoustic guitars , but with the electric guitars we will be able to project sound and they will be able to be heard in our concert .

The music program at this school has been neglected for so long. As a new teacher, I see that the students really want an outlet to express themselves and music is a great way to do so. Please help me so that I can provide my students with a positive musical experience.
